Python 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
Categories Data Types
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 None Type
Setting the Data Type
Data Type Example
str x = "Hello World” or x = ‘Hello World'
int x = 20
float x = 20.5
complex x = 1j or x = 3 + 4j
list x = [ "apple", "banana", "cherry” ]
tuple x = ( "apple", "banana", "cherry” )
range x = range(6)
dict x = { "name" : "John", "age" : 36 }
Data Type Example
set x = { "apple", "banana", "cherry” }
frozenset x = frozenset ( { "apple", "banana", "cherry” } )
bool x = True or x = False
bytes x = b"Hello"
bytearray x = bytearray(5)
memoryview x = memoryview(bytes(5))
NoneType x = None
Setting the specific Data Type
Data Type Example
str x = str("Hello World”) or x = str(‘Hello World’)
int x = int(20)
float x = float(20.5)
complex x = complex(1j) or x = complex(3 + 4j)
list x = list (( "apple", "banana", "cherry” ))
tuple x = tuple (("apple", "banana", "cherry”))
range x = range(6)
dict x = dict{"name" : "John", "age" : 36}
Data Type Example
set x = set(( "apple", "banana", "cherry”))
frozenset x = frozenset(( "apple", "banana", "cherry”))
bool x = bool(5)
bytes x = bytes(5)
bytearray x = bytearray(5)
memoryview x = memoryview(bytes(5))
