The correct syntax to output the type of a variable or object in Python is to use the built-in type() function with the variable or object as its argument:

python

type(variable)

For example:

python

x = 5
print(type(x))  # Output: <class 'int'>

name = "Alice"
print(type(name))  # Output: <class 'str'>

This function returns the type of the object that the variable refers to, shown as a class type, such as <class 'int'> or <class 'str'>

. You can wrap type() inside print() to display the type directly to the console. This is useful for debugging or understanding what kind of data a variable holds in Python, which is a dynamically typed language where variables can refer to objects of any type

. In summary:

• Use type(variable) to get the type.
• Use print(type(variable)) to output the type to the console.

This is the standard and correct way to find and display the type of a variable or object in Python
