Check String Type Python

how do I check if something is a string in python ?

To check if a variable is a string in Python, you can use the `isinstance()` function. Here's a basic
example:

python

variable = "Hello, World!"

if isinstance(variable, str):
print("This is a string.")
else:
print("This is not a string.")

The `isinstance()` function checks if the variable is an instance of the specified type (in this case,
`str` for string). If it is, the function returns `True`; otherwise, it returns `False`.

You can also use the `type()` function, though it's less commonly recommended for type checking
because it doesn't support inheritance:

python

if type(variable) is str:
print("This is a string.")
else:
print("This is not a string.")

Both methods will work, but `isinstance()` is generally preferred due to its flexibility with subclasses.
