Pls how do i check multiple type(s)

Question

Let's say i have five variables; a, b, c, d and e and i want to check the type of each of them without typing it fully;
i.e print(type(a)); print(type(b));....print(type(e))
or print(type(a), type(b),... type(e))

I tried - print(type(a,b...e)) but it failed

Answer 1

Mix the various variables in an iterable, and then use a loop to print each element in the iterable

a, b, c, d, e = 42, 'hello', True, 20.21, [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] # variables
mixed_type = ( a, b, c, d, e ) # mixed in a tuple
for e in mixed_type:
print( f"{e} is {type( e )}" ) # print each tuple element

There may be better ways, it's just what I had in mind.

Answer 2

Ipang Thanks. I'm the not really looking to put it in a loop though.

Answer 3

How about using generator, converted to `list`?

print( *list( type( e ) for e in ( a, b, c, d, e ) ), sep = '\n' )

Answer 4

Ipang yh this makes sense. I prefer this. I was really hoping the type() function could take multiple variables at once. Maybe that's not the case 😩

Answer 5

The type() function does have an overload that takes 3 arguments. But it serves different purpose, as you may see here
