count how many of an object type there are in a list Python -

if have list in python:

a = [1, 1.23, 'abc', 'abc', 6.45, 2, 3, 4, 4.98]

is there easy way count amount of object type there in a? simpler following produces same result:

l = [i in if type(a[i]) == int] print(len(l))

hopefully made myself clear.

a = [1, 1.23, 'abc', 'abc', 6.45, 2, 3, 4, 4.98]  sum(isinstance(i, int) in a)

which returns
