The type() function is mostly used for debugging purposes. Two different types of arguments can be passed to type() function, single and three arguments. If a single argument type(obj) is passed, it returns the type of the given object. If three arguments type(object, bases, dict) is passed, it returns a new type object. 

Example:

In the given example, we are printing the type of variable x.

Output :

Syntax: type(object, bases, dict)

Parameters : 

Return: returns a new type class or essentially a metaclass.

Here we are checking the object type using the type() function in Python.

Output:

In this example, we are testing the object using conditions, and printing the boolean.

Output :

In the given example, we are creating a class without a base class and a class derived from a base class. The type() function allows for programmatically defining classes and their attributes at runtime.

Output :

{‘var1’: ‘GeeksforGeeks’, ‘b’: 2009, ‘__module__’: ‘__main__’, ‘__dict__’: , ‘__weakref__’: , ‘__doc__’: None}

{‘a’: ‘Geeks’, ‘b’: 2018, ‘__module__’: ‘__main__’, ‘__doc__’: None}
