#include <stdio.h> int main() { int i,j,a[6]={'t','h','a','n','k','s'}; for(i=0;i<=5;i++) { for(j=0;j<=5;j++) { if(i==j) printf("%c",a[j]); else printf ("*"); } printf ("\n"); } return 0; }

If you give only 1 arg, it returns arg.__class__ In [1]: int.__class__ Out[1]: type In [2]: type(int) Out[2]: type In [3]: i = 5 In [4]: i.__class__ Out[4]: int In [5]: type(i) Out[5]: int If you give 3 args (name, bases, attrs), it creates a new type In [10]: cls = type('name', (object,), {'a': 5}) #This is equivalent to #class name(object): # a = 5 In [11]: cls Out[11]: __main__.name In [12]: type(cls) Out[12]: type In [13]: type(cls()) Out[13]: __main__.name In [14]: cls.a Out[14]: 5 In [15]: cls().a Out[15]: 5

Type returns the type of whatever you hand over. If you give an int, type will be 'int'. if you give a self-made class itself, type will be 'type'. if you give an instance of your class, you will get the name of that class, because that's the type. You can try these things yourself in Code Playground.

Mert Yazıcı, interesting, I haven't seen this creative side of 'type' yet. Looks a bit like JavaScript, doesn't it?
