Returns

String — Python-like type descriptor.

Behavior / side effects

Return the Python-like class descriptor string for a value, for example <class 'int'>.

Execution

  • Blocking: No
  • Thread safety: Use separate objects per flow
  • Parallel execution: Yes

Value operations execute in the calling flow without an intentional wait for capture, gesture completion, or user input. Create mutable containers/builders separately in each flow; this is isolation, not a shared-object synchronization guarantee.

Example

value = 42
print(type(value))

Errors / limitations

No additional limitations documented; follow the parameter and behavior contract above.
