Find out how many strings are there in the given list

Elaborating (plagiarizing) Griff's answer...

a = [56, "Tree", 776, 89, "Five", "One", True, (True, "Goo"),  "Apple"]
b = [x for x in a if isinstance(x, str)]
print(len(b))

c=0
for i in list:
if type(i)==str:
c=c+1
print("The Numbers of strings is",c)

list1 = [56, 'Tree', 776, 89, 'Five', 'One', 43, 'Apple']
str_num = sum(type(x) == str for x in list1) #str_num is the number of strings in list1
print(str_num)
