The isinstance() function in Python is used to check if an object is an instance of a specified class or if it is an instance of a subclass of that class.
Here's the general syntax:
| isinstance(object, classinfo) |
- object: The object to be checked
- classinfo: A class or a tuple of classes to be checked against
In the above example, car_instance is an instance of both the Car class and its parent class Vehicle, so isinstance() returns True for both checks.
Output:
| True True |
