Use type(x).__name__. Like this: x=[1,2,3] print(type(x).__name__) Here's the code: https://code.sololearn.com/ca24A12A13a1 But it returns str instead of string. Here is the resource: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5008828/convert-a-JUMP_LINK__&&__python__&&__JUMP_LINK-type-object-to-a-string

Though I would not recommend it, I found another way of doing this. You can use .replace() method to achieve this.You can delete the <class ' and '> from the return type by converting it to str and using replace.Like this: https://code.sololearn.com/ca22a8A23a1A
