Python: type() function
type() function
The type() function is used to get the type of an object.
Version:
(Python 3.2.5)
Syntax:
type(object) type(name, bases, dict)
Parameter:
Name | Description |
---|---|
object | An object. |
name | The name string is the class name and becomes the __name__ attribute. |
base | The base classes. |
dict | The namespace with the definition for the class. |
Return value:
A type object.
Example: Python type() function
d = {65: 'A', 66: 'B', 67: 'C'}
print(type(d))
l = [1, 2, 3, -12, 0]
print(type(l))
class Foo:
x = 100
a = Foo()
print(type(a))
Output:
<class 'dict'> <class 'list'> <class '__main__.Foo'>
Example: type() function using name, base and dict parameters
r = type('A', (object,), dict(f='Foo', x=5))
print(type(r))
print("-------------------------------")
print(vars(r))
Output:
<class 'type'> ------------------------------- {'__module__': '__main__', 'f': 'Foo', '__doc__': None, 'x': 5, '__weakref__': <attribute '__weakref__' of 'A' objects>, '__dict__': <attribute '__dict__' of 'A' objects>}'>

Returns the symmetric difference between two lists, after applying the provided function to each list element of both:
Example:
def tips_symmetric_difference_by(p, q, fn): _p, _q = set(map(fn, p)), set(map(fn, q)) return [item for item in p if fn(item) not in _q] + [item for item in q if fn(item) not in _p] from math import floor print(tips_symmetric_difference_by([4.2, 2.4], [4.6, 6.8],floor))
Output:
[2.4, 6.8]
