I'm reading from a file that contains text like

When I read the integer 5 I want to make sure it's an integer.
Likewise, for strings, I want to make sure if something is indeed a
string. So how do I check types in Python? I want to check following
types
1- integers
2- strings
3- testing types of a particular class
4- decimal/floats
You read the lines of a file as text strings.
You can convert a string with int() or float() or get ValueError if
invalid. Note that decimal int literals are also float literals.
