Determining type of an object in ruby

Question

I\'ll use python as an example of what I\'m looking for (you can think of it as pseudocode if you don\'t know Python):

>>> a = 1
>>> type(a)
&l         


        

Answer 1

you could also try: instance_of?

p 1.instance_of? Fixnum    #=> True
p "1".instance_of? String  #=> True
p [1,2].instance_of? Array #=> True
