Data Type

Data Type 

 In Python, a data type is a classification that specifies the type of value a variable can hold and what operations can be performed on it. Essentially, it tells the interpreter how to handle the data stored in a variable.

For example:

  • Integer (int): Represents whole numbers.
  • Float (float): Represents decimal numbers.
  • String (str): Represents text.
  • Boolean (bool): Represents True or False values.


Here are the basic data types in Python explained in simple terms:

  1. Integer (int): Whole numbers, like 1, 42, or -7.

  2. Float (float): Decimal numbers, like 3.14, 0.001, or -2.5.

  3. String (str): Text, enclosed in quotes, like "hello", 'world', or "123".

  4. Boolean (bool): True or False values, like True or False.

  5. List (list): Ordered collection of items, which can be of different types, like [1, 2, 3] or ["apple", "banana", "cherry"].

  6. Tuple (tuple): Ordered collection of items, similar to a list, but immutable (cannot be changed), like (1, 2, 3) or ("apple", "banana", "cherry").

  7. Set (set): Unordered collection of unique items, like {1, 2, 3} or {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}.

  8. Dictionary (dict): Collection of key-value pairs, like {"name": "Alice", "age": 25}.
