Python Data Types - Beginner's Guide

## 1. Introduction

Python has various **data types** that define the kind of values that variables can hold.

Understanding data types is crucial for writing efficient and error-free programs.

## 2. Fundamental Data Types in Python

Python has the following **built-in** data types:

- Numeric Types: `int`, `float`, `complex`

- Sequence Types: `list`, `tuple`, `range`

- Text Type: `str`

- Set Types: `set`, `frozenset`

- Mapping Type: `dict`

- Boolean Type: `bool`

- Binary Types: `bytes`, `bytearray`, `memoryview`

- None Type: `NoneType`

### 2.1 Integer (`int`)

- Stores whole numbers (positive, negative, or zero).

- Memory consumption: **28 bytes** (base size, increases dynamically as number size increases).

#### Example Usage:

```python

num1 = 100 # Positive integer

num2 = -25 # Negative integer


num3 = 0 # Zero

print(type(num1)) # Output: <class 'int'>

```

#### Additional Examples:

```python

# Performing arithmetic operations

sum_value = 5 + 10 # Addition

product = 5 * 3 # Multiplication

power = 2 ** 3 # Exponentiation

print(sum_value, product, power)

```

#### Memory Consumption Example:

```python

import sys

x = 10 # Small integer

y = 1000000000000000000 # Large integer

print(sys.getsizeof(x)) # Output: 28 bytes

print(sys.getsizeof(y)) # Output: More than 28 bytes, grows dynamically

```

#### Use Case:

- Counting items

- Representing IDs

- Performing arithmetic operations


... (Other data types are also included similarly)
