Python - Datatypes
What is a Data Type?

A data type tells Python what kind of information you are storing.

A data type defines the type of value a variable holds and determines
how Python will process, store, and manipulate that value.
Names of Python Data Types

Text Type Numeric Types Sequence Mapping Type


• Str (String) • int, float, Types • dict
complex • list, tuple, range

Set Types Boolean Type None Type


• set, frozenset • bool • None
Text Type: string
“Rohit”

Description: String is used to represent textual data

Type: str

Example: A person's name: “ Rohit ”


Numeric Data type
Type: int

• Description: Stores whole numbers.


• Example: Number of students in a class = 25

Type: float

• Description: Stores decimal numbers.


• Example: Temperature = 37.5 °C

Type: complex

• Description: Number with real + imaginary part


• Example: Electrical circuit calculation, 3 + 4j
Sequence Types: list, tuple, range
Ordered collections of items.

Type: list Type: tuple Type: range

Description: Ordered, Description: Ordered, Description: Sequence of


changeable collection. unchangeable collection. numbers.
Example: Grocery list → Example: Months of the Example: Counting roll
["milk", "bread", "eggs"] year → ("Jan", "Feb", "Mar") numbers → range(1, 51)

Python range(5)

0 1 2 3 4
Mapping Type: dict
Stores data in key–value pairs.
Keys are unique
Value can be any data type

Description: Stores data in Example:


key–value pairs {"name": "John", "age": 20}
• Unordered collections of unique items.
• No duplicate entries
• Order is not guaranteed

Type: set
Set Types:
• Description: Unordered collection of
set, unique items.
frozenset • Example: {"apple", "banana", "orange"}

Type: frozenset

• Description: Same as set, but


unchangeable.
• Example: frozenset(["a", "b", "c"])
Boolean Type: bool
Represents True or False values.

Description: Represents Example: Is the door


True or False values. open? → True / False
None Type: None

Represents no value or empty state.

Example: x= None
Why Data Types Matter

Prevents errors: Efficiency: Correct Readability: Helps


Python knows what type means efficient others understand what
operations are allowed memory usage kind of data is expected

Real-Life Analogy: Like


labeling jars — if you
Debugging: Type errors
label “sugar” but you
are common
put salt, things go
wrong.
Data Type Mutable Ordered Allows Duplicates Example

List Yes Yes Yes ["A", "B"]

Tuple No Yes Yes (1, 2, 3)

{"name":
Dict Yes No Keys unique
"Satish"}

Set Yes No No {1, 2, 3}

Range No Yes Yes range(1,10)
