After thinking about this, (i am prettry new to python), i was doing this:

print(type(5),type(int),type(5)==type(int),type(5)==int)
<class 'int'> <class 'type'> False True

Can someone explain why   type(5)==int   evaluates to   True ?

print(int)
<class 'int'>

The value of int is the class int, which is the class of 5, so type(5) is also 
that same class int.


Maybe i should have asked this:

What is the difference between 'type(5)==int'  and 'isinstance(5,int)'

and, if there is no difference why did someone invent 'isinstance()' ...
