- Hi
- I want to check the type of a variable so that I know which format to use
- for printing eg
- def print_correct_format(a):
- if type(a) == 'int':
- print "a is an integer, value %i" % (a)
- elif type(a) == 'float':
- print "a is a float, value %f" % (a)
- else:
- print "a is unknown type"
- The comparison type(a) == 'int' etc does not work - I'm sure there's a
- simple way to fix this but can't see it at the moment - any suggestions?
