Is there an api or function to get the type of variable a variable is?

[MKlegoman357]

There's a function called 'type'. It returns the type of the variable as a string:

print( type( "" ) ) --> string

print( type( 1 ) ) --> number

You should really use google more often, it's way faster than asking here for these little things.

The type function is what you are looking for.

I believe type(variable) will return the type of variable.
