Sometimes, you might want to check if the value of a variable is a list.
You can check if the value of a variable is a list by either using Python's builtin type() function by passing the variable as an argument, and then compare the result or using the isinstance() function by passing the two arguments: the variable, and the list class.
How to use the type() Function to Check if the Value of a Variable is a list in Python
Here's a code example on how to check if the value of a variable is a list using Python's builtin type():
vowels = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"]
type(vowels) == list #True
How to use the isinstance() Function to Check if the Value of a Variable is a list in Python
Here's a code example on how to check if the value of a variable is a list using Python's builtin isinstance():
vowels = ["a", "e", "i", "o", "u"]
isinstance(vowels, list) #True

That's a candid example of how you can check if the value of a variable is a list by either using Python's builtin type() function or builtin isinstance() function.
