How to check if a variable is a string in Python

You can check if a variable is a string using the type() function, passing the variable as an argument, and then comparing the result to the str class:

name = "Roger"
type(name) == str #True

Or using isinstance(), passing 2 arguments: the variable, and the str class:

name = "Roger"
isinstance(name, str) #True
