Check if author or current user has posts published

by

I’m doing a QUIZ system, but I’m facing a problem that I dont know how to fix it.

I need to make a if basically, where it will check if the current user has a post published, as the question title. It’s important to say that the posts are a specifically custom-post-type, so I need to check if there is a post with a certain post-type with the author-id equal to the current user ID.

Can someone help-me?

Using get_posts or WP_query with similar $args:

$args = array(
    'post_type'  => 'your_custom_post_type',
    'author'     => get_current_user_id(),
);

$wp_posts = get_posts($args);

if (count($wp_posts)) {
    echo "Yes, the current user has 'your_custom_post_type' posts published!";
} else {
    echo "No, the current user does not have 'your_custom_post_type' posts published.";
}
