Python Program to Differentiate Between type() and isinstance()

 

Difference between type() and instance()

class Polygon:

    def sides_no(self):

        pass

class Triangle(Polygon):

    def area(self):

        pass

obj_polygon = Polygon()

obj_triangle = Triangle()

print(type(obj_triangle) == Triangle)    # true

print(type(obj_triangle) == Polygon)    # false

print(isinstance(obj_polygon, Polygon)) # true

print(isinstance(obj_triangle, Polygon)) # true
