The is_singular() function is ideal for this case. You can check for posts or pages individually, like this:

if( is_singular('post') ) {
  // Do something for the post
} 

if( is_singular('page') ) {
  // Do something for the page
}

There is also a specific function for the pages:

if( is_page() ) {
  // Do something for the page
}

Alternatively, you can check for multiple post types in a single function call:

if( is_singular( ['post', 'page'] ) ) {
  // Do something for both post types
}

You can also use get_post_type() function.

if (get_post_type() === 'post') {
    // POST
}

if (get_post_type() === 'page') {
    // PAGE
}

It's for developer, if you are not a developer you can also check current page type. You have to just inspect particular page and see body tag. If theme is build with basic WordPress rules then body tag have classes related to page or single page. These classes may b included the post type, template name, file name, page id and many more.

If you're looping through a collection of posts/pages (say, on a search results page), then is_single() and is_page() won't be of any use. In this situation, you could grab the global $post object (of type WP_Post) and examine the $post->post_type property. Possible values include 'post' and 'page'.
