I don't know why didn't get the type print. The print type keeps coming out as str.Please help me[enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FPrUW.jpg)

Looking at your code, you have defined my_variable twice on lines 1 and 18. My understanding is that you only need to have the print statement on line 21, so line 18 (and lines 19 - 20 too) should probably be removed.

The comments indicate that before the code is executed, the value of my_variable will be changed to test for different possible data types, so that's all you need to do.

Here is an example to understand datatypes:

print(type("Hello, world!")

gives you:

<class 'str'>

str corresponds to a 'string' datatype. You can learn more about them here.

print(type(3.4)

gives you:

<class 'float'>

while

print(type(3)

gives you:

<class 'int'>

but:

print(type(3.0))

gives

<class = 'float'>

int is for integers and float is for float, learn more here.

Moreover,

print(type(False))

or

print(type(True))

gives:

<class 'bool'>

bool stands for boolean, which can only have values True or False.

Hope this helps.

There is no specific type "print" the output of the type() is the Datatype of the variable. Learn more about it here ([Python type() Function][1] [1]: https://www.w3schools.com/python/ref_func_type.asp

1. Please do NOT post code as image, it is very uncomfortable
2. Please give more context in the future :)

Answer: You do not need to put my_variable = "Hello, world!" second time after the big comment, because as far as I can see, the program will only edit the first line and check if type of my_variable is correct.
