+# Type of Anything
+
+You can get the type of anything with the `type` function. Because Clojure
+is built on Java, many of these types may be types you recognize form Java.
+
+Boot up the repl to try some of these out:
+
+```clojure
+> (type 5)
+; java.lang.Long
+> (type 5.2)
+; java.lang.Double
+> (type 5/4)
+; clojure.lang.Ratio
+> (type (int 2))
+; java.lang.Integer
+> (type "hello, world!")
+; java.lang.String
+> (type [1 2 3])
+; clojure.lang.PersistentVector
+> (type '(1 2 3))
+; clojure.lang.PersistentList
+```
