Python Data Types Explained

The document outlines the main data types in Python, including Numeric (Integer, Float, Complex), Sequence (String, List, Tuple), Boolean, Set, and Dictionary. Each data type is defined with examples and code snippets demonstrating their usage. Python's dynamic typing allows variables to be assigned without explicit type declaration.

Data Types in Python

Python is a dynamically typed language, meaning you don't need to declare the type of a variable
when assigning a value to it. The interpreter automatically binds the value to its type. Here are
the main data types in Python:

Numeric Data Types

1. Integer (int): Represents whole numbers, positive or negative, without decimals.


Example: 10, -20.
2. Float (float): Represents real numbers with a floating-point representation. Example:
1.9, 15.2.
3. Complex (complex): Represents complex numbers in the form x + yj, where x is the
real part and y is the imaginary part. Example: 2.14j, 2.0 + 2.3j.

a = 5
b = 5.0
c = 2 + 4j
print(type(a)) # <class 'int'>
print(type(b)) # <class 'float'>
print(type(c)) # <class 'complex'>

Sequence Data Types

1. String (str): A sequence of characters enclosed in single, double, or triple quotes.


Example: "hello", 'world'.
2. List (list): An ordered collection of items, which can be of different types, enclosed in
square brackets. Example: [1, 'hi', 3.5].
3. Tuple (tuple): Similar to lists but immutable, meaning their values cannot be changed
after creation. Enclosed in parentheses. Example: (1, 'hi', 3.5).

# String
s = "Hello, Python"
print(type(s)) # <class 'str'>

# List
l = [1, 'hi', 3.5]
print(type(l)) # <class 'list'>

# Tuple
t = (1, 'hi', 3.5)
print(type(t)) # <class 'tuple'>
Boolean Data Type

Boolean (bool): Represents one of two values: True or False. Used to determine the truth value
of an expression.

x = True
y = False
print(type(x)) # <class 'bool'>
print(type(y)) # <class 'bool'>

Set Data Type

Set (set): An unordered collection of unique items. Created using curly braces or the set()
function. Example: {1, 2, 3}, set([1, 2, 3]).

s = {1, 2, 3}
print(type(s)) # <class 'set'>

Dictionary Data Type

Dictionary (dict): An unordered collection of key-value pairs. Keys must be unique and
immutable. Created using curly braces with key-value pairs separated by colons. Example:
{'name': 'John', 'age': 30}.

d = {'name': 'John', 'age': 30}


print(type(d)) # <class 'dict'>
