If you want to check if an object, x is an instance of exactly a given type(not a subtype), you can use typeto get its type and check using is statement.
example
x = "Hello"
if type(x) is str:
print("x is an instance of str")Output
This will give the output
x is an instance of str
If you want to check if x is an instance of a MyClass or any subclass of MyClass, you can use the isinstance method call.
example
x = "Hello"
if isinstance(x, str):
print("x is an instance of str")Output
This will give the output
x is an instance of str
