Returns the internal type representation of a variant.
VarGetType ( expression )
| expression | An expression to check the internal type of. |
See language datatypes for a detailed description.
IsInt() can return different results as it tries to convert from a float, for example calling VarGetType() with a value of 2.0 will return "Double", but IsInt() will return 1 for the same value.
