+
+The **`isinstance()`** function determines whether a given object is of a designated value type. If it is, the function will return `True`, otherwise the function will return `False`.
+
+## Syntax
+
+```pseudo
+isinstance(object, class)
+```
+
+- `object` is the object, or a reference to the object, to be tested.
+- `class` is the type the function will use in this assertion (e.g. list, set, etc.).
+
+## Example
+
+```py
+var1 = "Hello World!"
+var2 = 123
+
+def check_if_string(value):
+    if isinstance(value, str):
+        print(f'{value} is a string type.')
+    else:
+        print(f'{value} is not a string.')
+
+check_if_string(var1)
+check_if_string(var2)
+```
+
+This example results in the following output:
+
+```shell
+Hello World! is a string type.
+123 is not a string.
+```
