Python Data Types

Built-in Data Types


In programming, data type is an important concept.

Variables can store data of different types, and different types can do different
things.

Python has the following data types built-in by default, in these categories:

Text Type: str

Numeric int, float, complex


Types:

Sequence list, tuple, range


Types:

Mapping dict
Type:

Set Types: set, frozenset

Boolean bool
Type:

Binary Types: bytes, bytearray, memoryview

Getting the Data Type


You can get the data type of any object by using the type() function:

Example
Print the data type of the variable x:

x = 5

print(type(x))

Python Numbers

Python Numbers
There are three numeric types in Python:

● int
● float
● complex

Variables of numeric types are created when you assign a value to them:

Example

x = 1 # int

y = 2.8 # float

z = 1j # complex

To verify the type of any object in Python, use the type() function:

Example
print(type(x))

print(type(y))

print(type(z))

Int
Int, or integer, is a whole number, positive or negative, without decimals, of
unlimited length.

Example

Integers:

x = 1

y = 35656222554887711

z = -3255522

print(type(x))

print(type(y))

print(type(z))

Float
Float, or "floating point number" is a number, positive or negative, containing
one or more decimals.

Example

Floats:

x = 1.10

y = 1.0

z = -35.59

print(type(x))

print(type(y))

print(type(z))

Float can also be scientific numbers with an "e" to indicate the power of 10.

Example

Floats:

x = 35e3

y = 12E4

z = -87.7e100
print(type(x))

print(type(y))

print(type(z))

Complex
Complex numbers are written with a "j" as the imaginary part:

Example

Complex:

x = 3+5j

y = 5j

z = -5j

print(type(x))

print(type(y))

print(type(z))

Type Conversion
You can convert from one type to another with the int(), float(), and
complex() methods:

Example

Convert from one type to another:

x = 1 # int

y = 2.8 # float

z = 1j # complex

#convert from int to float:

a = float(x)

#convert from float to int:

b = int(y)

#convert from int to complex:

c = complex(x)

print(a)

print(b)
print(c)

print(type(a))

print(type(b))

print(type(c))

Note: You cannot convert complex numbers into another number type.

Random Number
Python does not have a random() function to make a random number, but
Python has a built-in module called random that can be used to make random
numbers:

Example

Import the random module, and display a random number between 1 and 9:

import random

print([Link](1, 10))
