Python JSON: Check whether an instance is complex or not

Python JSON: Exercise-7 with Solution

Write a Python program to check whether an instance is complex or not.

Sample Solution:-

Python Code:

import json

def encode_complex(object):
    # check using isinstance method
    if isinstance(object, complex):
        return [object.real, object.imag]
    # raised error if object is not complex
    raise TypeError(repr(object) + " is not JSON serialized")

complex_obj = json.dumps(2 + 3j, default=encode_complex)
print(complex_obj)

Output:

Complex_object:  (4+5j)
Without complex object:  {'real': 4, 'img': 3}

Flowchart:
