type command does not work appropriately - atharva - May-30-2018
when I assign a variable as given below type command works
for example :-
a = 2 type(a)but when I assign a variable as given below and save it as .py file and run it does not what it should.
a = 2 b = 3.0 c = "string" type(a) type(b) type(c)please help me understand what is the reason behind this?

In the first case you work in the interactive mode, i.e.
>>>a = 2 >>>type(a) <type 'int'>when in py file it still works, but you don't 'see' the result. you need to print it in some form or use it in any way, e.g.
a = 2 b = "some string" print(type(a)) what_type = type(b) print(what_type)

from module:
a = 2 b = 3.0 c = 'string' print(type(a)) print(type(b)) print(type(c))save in foo.py then run foo
Output:M:\
λ python foo.py
<class 'int'>
<class 'float'>
<class 'str'>
