The type() function is used for debugging purposes and validation. 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 argument types (object, bases, dict) are passed, it returns a new type object.

Understanding that is a lot of information above. We are just going to use the single argument. The above was pulled from code documentation. We are slowly acclimate to understanding code documentation as we go. For the single argument of the type() function we will pass our variable as its argument.

Apply what we have learned!
