Python: Types

Python is dynamically typed, so it can be useful to determine the type of a variable at run-time. Here is the Python code [#1]

list1 = [
	123,
	45.67,
	"hello",
	True,
	[ 2 , 3 , 5],
	{ "red" : "FF0000" , "green" : "00FF00", "blue" : "0000FF" }
	]
for item1 in list1:
	type1 = type(item1)
	type2 = str(type1)
	text1 = str(item1)
	class1 = item1.__class__.__name__
	print("\"{0:s}\" :: {1:s} :: {2:s}".format(class1,type2,text1))

Here is the output of the Python code.

"int" :: <class 'int'> :: 123
"float" :: <class 'float'> :: 45.67
"str" :: <class 'str'> :: hello
"bool" :: <class 'bool'> :: True
"list" :: <class 'list'> :: [2, 3, 5]
"dict" :: <class 'dict'> :: {'red': 'FF0000', 'green': '00FF00', 'blue': '0000FF'}

Here is the Python code [#2]

def say1(x1, indent1):
	list1 = []
	class1 = x1.__class__.__name__
	if class1 == "int":
		list1.append(str(x1))
	elif class1 == "str":
		pass
	elif class1 == "bool" :
		pass
	elif class1 == "list" :
		pass
	elif class1 == "dict" :
		pass
	else:
		list1.append("?")
	text1 = "".join(list1)
	return text1
def say(x1):
	list1 = say1(x1,0)
	text1 = "".join(list1)
	return text1
print("(not ready)")

Here is the output of the Python code.
