Which of the following is the correct way to check a variable's type inside a function for polymorphism?

def process(value):
    # What to use here?
    pass
Aif type(value) == int:
Bif value is int:
Cif isinstance(value, int):
Dif value == int:
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Recall Python type checking methods

    Using isinstance() is the recommended way to check type in Python.
  2. Step 2: Compare options

    if isinstance(value, int): uses isinstance(value, int), which correctly checks if value is an int or subclass.
  3. Final Answer:

    if isinstance(value, int): -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Use isinstance() for type checks [OK]
Quick Trick: Use isinstance() to check types safely [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using 'type() == int' which fails with subclasses
  • Using 'is' or '==' incorrectly for type comparison
  • Not checking type at all
