[Basic Grammar] Python Data Types

Variables can store data of different types. 

 

Let's check out the data types that Python has.

Text Type	str
Numeric Types:	int, float, complex
Sequence Types:	list, tuple, range
Mapping Type:	dict
Set Types:	set, frozenset
Boolean Type:	bool
Binary Types:	bytes, bytearray, memoryview
None Type:	NoneType

 

When you want to know the data type of the variable, you can use type() function. 

Example 

x = 9.5
print(type(x))

 

• Setting the Data Type 

Example	Data Type
x = "Python is fun "	str
x = 20	int
x = 99.9	float
x = 1j	complex
x = ["Nike", "Adidas", "Puma"]	list
x = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")	tuple
x = range(6)	range
x = {"name" : "Grace", "age" : 28}	dict
x = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}	set
x = frozenset({"apple", "banana", "cherry"})	frozenset
x = True	bool
x = b"Hello"	bytes
x = bytearray(5)	bytearray
x = memoryview(bytes(5))	memoryview
x = None	NoneType
