## Checking if object is iterable or not

There is an easy way of checking if an object in python is iterable or not. The following code will do the needful.
```python
>>> def check(A):
... try:
... st = iter(A)
... print('yes')
... except TypeError:
... print('no')
...
>>> check(25)
no
>>> check([25,35])
yes
>>>
```
