As of now, I am using type(of: ) function to find out the dynamic type of a variable and I compare it with Type.self to check the type :

var x = 5
if(type(of: x) == Int.self)
{
    print("\(x) is of type Int")
}

Am I doing it right ? Or is there any better/preferred way to check the type ?

i personaly would use

if(x is Int)
{
    print("\(x) is of type Int")
}

rather than using typeof if you're expecting x to be an integer as it's far more readable. but sure, you can use typeOf if you want to. Both are equally right

You can use;

if (x is Int) {
    print("\(x) is of type Int")
}
