Introduction
The isinstance() function in Python allows checking if an object is of the specified type. In other words, it will check if the 1st parameter is a subclass of the 2nd parameter.
If it matches it will return True, otherwise, it will return False.
Now we’re gonna teach you to use the isinstance() function in Python.
Example
Example 1:
x = isinstance(1, int) print(x)
Output:
True
Example 2:
x = isinstance(1, float) print(x)
Output:
False
Definition
If an object is of the specified type, this function will return True, otherwise, it will return False.
The case the parameter is of type tuple, if the object is one of type tuple, it will return True.
The syntax
isinstance(object, type)
Parameter Values:
object: an object(Required)
type: class, type or tuple
More examples
Example 1:
class NAME: name = "BEND" z = NAME() x = isinstance(z, NAME) print(x)
Output:
True
Example 2:
testlist = [1, 2, 3] print(isinstance(testlist, list))
Output:
True
Conclusion
We just taught you to use the isinstance() function in Python.
