Built in Data Types

and Type Casting


Data Types in Python
● Python has three main Data Types:-
○ Integer
○ Float
○ String
● Data type is an attribute of data which tells us what kind
of data that value can have.
● x = 4, Here x is an integer data type

● y = ‘India’, Here y is a string data type


Ninja Trick

● A function is a block of organized, reusable code that is used to perform a single,


related action.
● Python uses a built-in function called type() which gives the data type of a
variable without printing the actual variable.
X=4
print(type(x))
➔ X is an integer type
Jargon Alert: TypeCasting

● TypeCasting refers to changing the data type of a variable from one form to another.

● There are three Type casting functions in Python:


○ Int()
○ float()
○ str().
TypeCasting Examples

● int(): Used to convert a string or float value to integer.


○ X = int(5), Integer 5 is assigned to X.
● float(): Used to convert an integer or string value to float.
○ Y = int(6.7), 6.7 is converted to integer 6 and assigned to Y.
● str(): Used to convert an integer or float value to string.
○ Z = int(“2”), string is converted to integer 2 assigned to Z.
