Sometimes, you might want to check if the value of a variable is a set.

You can check if the value of a variable is a set 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 set class.

How to use the type() Function to Check if the Value of a Variable is a set in Python

Here's a code example on how to check if the value of a variable is a set using Python's builtin type():

checkers = {1,2,3,4}

type(checkers) == set  #True

How to use the isinstance() Function to Check if the Value of a Variable is a set in Python

Here's a code example on how to check if the value of a variable is a set using Python's builtin isinstance():

checkers = {1,2,3,4}

isinstance(checkers, set) #True

Wrap Off

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