What is the difference between a type and a class? They look the same.
Sorry to ask something so elementary.
That’s pretty much how it works since everything is an Object. "foo"'s type is String since it is an instance of the String class. The type of a variable/value would be the class it is an instance of, or a union of all the classes it could be an instance of.
The main difference is a type is not limited to a class. But could also be structs, modules, enums, array of a type, etc.
