type()

Theory

183/268

type() is built into Python. You do not import it. Freshers only need one honest call and the printed result — not a long definition.

type() — output — int then str.

Wrong type often raises TypeError. Empty values matter for bool/all/any. Don’t mix type up with a similar name (sorted vs sort, int vs float).

Exam tip

Call type() once and say what prints.

# type()
print(type(21).__name__)
print(type("Asha").__name__)

type() — output: int then str.
