How do you check for the type of variable in Elixir

Question

In Elixir how do you check for type such as in Python:

>>> a = \"test\"
>>> type(a)

>>> b =10
>>> type(b         


        

Answer 1

Just because nobody has mentioned it

IO.inspect/1

Outputs to console the object ... its almost equiv to JSON.stringify

Very helpful when you just cannot for the life of you figure out what an object looks like in a test.
