How to convert a type result into a string in python?

Question

I have a code line

emp_id=1 
tp = type(emp_id)
print(tp)
print(type(tp))
strg = str(tp)
print(strg)
print(type(strg))

The result is as below

<class 'int'>
<class 'type'>
<class 'int'>
<class 'str'> 

**What i need is i want to store in a string.

How to do it? **

Answer 1

The function type(x) returns the class of which the object x is an instance. All classes in python have the property __name__ which returns the actual name (as a string) of that class.

x = 1
tp = type(x).__name__
print(tp)

This will print: int
