Magento check if customer is logged in

Magento check if customer is logged in : While working with magento we sometimes need to decide whether user is logged from front end or not. Mage::getSingleton(‘core/session’, array(‘name’ => ‘frontend’)); is used to get the front end logged in user session in Magento 1.x but In magento 2.x object manager $objectManager->get(‘Magento\Customer\Model\Session’) is used to get the customer session. Here in this tutorial we are going to explain how you can check the customer login on magento 1 and magento 2 front end.
