What Is The Canonical Way To Check The Type Of Input?

I want to check the type of input on the screen by using python types module I have used the type(2) is int for integer. ---->>>working I have used the type('Vivek') is s

Solution 1:

It up to you to convert your input to whatever you need.

But, you can guess like this:

import sys

p = raw_input("Enter input")

if p.lower() in ("true", "yes", "t", "y"):
    p = Trueelif p.lower() in ("false", "no", "f", "n"):
    p = Falseelse:
    try:
        p = int(p)
    except ValueError:
        try:
            p = float(p)
        except ValueError:
            p = p.decode(sys.getfilesystemencoding()

This support bool, int, float and unicode.

Notes:

• Python has no char type: use a string of length 1,
• This int function can parse int values but also long values and even very long values,
• The float type in Python has a precision of a double (which doesn't exist in Python).
