Page Summary
-
The
ee.Algorithms.ObjectType()function returns a string representing the type of a given object. -
This function can be used to determine the type of various Earth Engine objects including numbers, strings, lists, and even properties of features.
-
The function takes a single argument,
value, which is the object whose type is to be determined. -
Examples demonstrate its usage in both JavaScript and Python.
