Checking data types

As you build your recipe scaler project, you've started storing different types of ingredient information in variables. You have the number of garlic cloves as a whole number, the amount of olive oil as a decimal, and whether you need to shop for pasta or garlic as a yes/no value. Before you continue building your scaler, it's important to verify a variable is storing the correct data type. Python's type() function will help you check this. The variables olive_oil_tbsp and has_pasta have been loaded for you.
