# Type Conditions

### `of_type(cls)`: Check if object is of type

Checks if an element is an instance of the specified class.

```python
Stream.of([1, 3.4, "A", None] \
    .filter(of_type(int)) \
    .for_each(print) # 1
```

### `not_of_type(cls: Type)`: Check if object is not of type

Checks if an element is not an instance of the specified class.

```python
Stream.of([1, 3.4, "A", None] \
   .filter(not_of_type(int)) \
   .for_each(print) # 3.4, "A", None
```

### `none()`: Check if object is None

Checks if an element is `None`.

```python
Stream.of([1, None, "Hello", None] \
   .filter(none()) \
   .for_each(print) # None, None
```

### `not_none()`: Check if object is not None

Checks if an element is not `None`.

```python
Stream.of([1, None, "Hello", None] \
   .filter(not_none()) \
   .for_each(print) # 1, "Hello"
```

### `true()`: Check if object is True

Checks if an element is `True`.

```python
Stream.of([True, False, "Yes", 0] \
   .filter(true()) \
   .for_each(print) # True
```

### `not_true()`: Check if object is not True

Checks if an element is not `True`.

```python
Stream.of([True, False, "Yes", 0] \
   .filter(not_true()) \
   .for_each(print) # False, "Yes", 0
```

### `false()`: Check if object is False

Checks if an element is `False`.

```python
Stream.of([True, False, "Yes", 0] \
   .filter(false()) \
   .for_each(print) # False
```

### `not_false()`: Check if object is not False

Checks if an element is not `False`.

```python
Stream.of([True, False, "Yes", 0] \
   .filter(not_false()) \
   .for_each(print) # True, "Yes", 0
```

### `length(x)`: Check if object has specified length

Checks if an element has the specified length.

```python
Stream.of(["apple", "banana", "cherry", "kiwi"] \
   .filter(length(5)) \
   .for_each(print) # apple
```

### `not_length(x)`: Check if object does not have specified length

Checks if an element does not have the specified length.

```python
Stream.of(["apple", "banana", "cherry", "kiwi"] \
   .filter(not_length(6)) \
   .for_each(print) # apple, kiwi
```

### `empty()`: Check if object is empty

Checks if an element is empty (e.g., an empty list, string, etc.).

```python
Stream.of([[], "", {}, set(), None, 0] \
    .filter(empty()) \
    .for_each(print) # [], "", {}, set()
```

### `not_empty()`: Check if object is not empty

Checks if an element is not empty.

```python
Stream.of([[], "", {}, set(), None, 0] \
    .filter(not_empty()) \
    .for_each(print) # None, 0
```

### `equal(x)`: Check if object is equal to the specified value

Checks if an element is equal to the specified value.

```python
Stream.of([1, 2, 3, 4, 5] \
    .filter(equal(3)) \
    .for_each(print) # 3
```

### `not_equal(x)`: Check if object is not equal to the specified value

Checks if an element is not equal to the specified value.

```python
Stream.of([1, 2, 3, 4, 5] \
    .filter(not_equal(3)) \
    .for_each(print) # 1, 2, 4, 5
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://pystreamapi.pickwicksoft.org/reference/conditions/type-conditions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
