上面的答案没有使用type(of:的新方法的工作示例。所以为了帮助像我这样的新手，这里有一个工作的例子，主要来自苹果的文档- https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/2885064-type

doubleNum = 30.1

func printInfo(_ value: Any) {
    let varType = type(of: value)
    print("'\(value)' of type '\(varType)'")
}

printInfo(doubleNum)
//'30.1' of type 'Double'

不完全是你想要的，但你也可以检查Swift类型的变量类型，像这样:

let object: AnyObject = 1

if object is Int {
}
else if object is String {
}

为例。

在Xcode 8, Swift 3.0

步骤:

1. 获取类型:

选项1:

let type : Type = MyClass.self  //Determines Type from Class

选项2:

let type : Type = type(of:self) //Determines Type from self

2. 转换类型为字符串:

let string : String = "\(type)" //String

2016年9月更新

Swift 3.0:使用type(of:)，例如type(of: someThing)(因为dynamicType关键字已被删除)

2015年10月更新:

我更新了下面的例子到新的Swift 2.0语法(例如println替换为print, toString()现在是String())。

Xcode 6.3发布说明:

@nschum在评论中指出，Xcode 6.3发布说明显示了另一种方式:

使用时，类型值现在打印为完整的需求类型名 Println或字符串插值。

import Foundation

class PureSwiftClass { }

var myvar0 = NSString() // Objective-C class
var myvar1 = PureSwiftClass()
var myvar2 = 42
var myvar3 = "Hans"

print( "String(myvar0.dynamicType) -> \(myvar0.dynamicType)")
print( "String(myvar1.dynamicType) -> \(myvar1.dynamicType)")
print( "String(myvar2.dynamicType) -> \(myvar2.dynamicType)")
print( "String(myvar3.dynamicType) -> \(myvar3.dynamicType)")

print( "String(Int.self)           -> \(Int.self)")
print( "String((Int?).self         -> \((Int?).self)")
print( "String(NSString.self)      -> \(NSString.self)")
print( "String(Array<String>.self) -> \(Array<String>.self)")

输出:

String(myvar0.dynamicType) -> __NSCFConstantString
String(myvar1.dynamicType) -> PureSwiftClass
String(myvar2.dynamicType) -> Int
String(myvar3.dynamicType) -> String
String(Int.self)           -> Int
String((Int?).self         -> Optional<Int>
String(NSString.self)      -> NSString
String(Array<String>.self) -> Array<String>

Xcode 6.3更新:

你可以使用_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName():

print( "TypeName0 = \(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(myvar0))")
print( "TypeName1 = \(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(myvar1))")
print( "TypeName2 = \(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(myvar2))")
print( "TypeName3 = \(_stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(myvar3))")

并将其作为输出:

TypeName0 = NSString
TypeName1 = __lldb_expr_26.PureSwiftClass
TypeName2 = Swift.Int
TypeName3 = Swift.String

最初的回答:

在Xcode 6.3之前，_stdlib_getTypeName获取变量的类型名。伊万·斯维克(Ewan Swick)的博客有助于解读这些字符串:

例如:_TtSi代表Swift的内部Int类型。

Mike Ash有一篇很棒的博客文章涉及了同样的主题。

我目前的Xcode版本是6.0 (6A280e)。

import Foundation

class Person { var name: String; init(name: String) { self.name = name }}
class Patient: Person {}
class Doctor: Person {}

var variables:[Any] = [
    5,
    7.5,
    true,
    "maple",
    Person(name:"Sarah"),
    Patient(name:"Pat"),
    Doctor(name:"Sandy")
]

for variable in variables {
    let typeLongName = _stdlib_getDemangledTypeName(variable)
    let tokens = split(typeLongName, { $0 == "." })
    if let typeName = tokens.last {
        println("Variable \(variable) is of Type \(typeName).")
    }
}

输出:

Variable 5 is of Type Int.
Variable 7.5 is of Type Double.
Variable true is of Type Bool.
Variable maple is of Type String.
Variable Swift001.Person is of Type Person.
Variable Swift001.Patient is of Type Patient.
Variable Swift001.Doctor is of Type Doctor.

您仍然可以通过className(返回String)访问该类。

实际上有几种方法来获取类，例如classForArchiver, classForCoder, classForKeyedArchiver(都返回AnyClass!)

无法获取原语的类型(原语不是类)。

例子:

var ivar = [:]
ivar.className // __NSDictionaryI

var i = 1
i.className // error: 'Int' does not have a member named 'className'

如果你想获取一个原语的类型，你必须使用bridgetooobjecvec()。例子:

var i = 1
i.bridgeToObjectiveC().className // __NSCFNumber
