Exploring Python
Data Types
Understanding Data Types
Data types classify values. They determine operations you can perform. Python has built-in data types. Knowing
these is fundamental to programming.
Classification Operations
Data types act as value classifiers. They determine the kind of operations.
Numeric Data Types
Numeric types represent numerical values. int for integers. float
for decimal numbers. complex for complex numbers.
Integers Floats Complex
Whole numbers, Numbers with Numbers with a real
positive or negative. decimal points. and imaginary part.
String Data Types
Strings represent text. They are enclosed in quotes. Single or
double quotes are both fine. Useful for names, messages, etc.
1 Text Representation 2 Quotes
Strings are used to Enclose strings in single
represent textual data. or double quotes.
3 Versatile
Suitable for names, messages, and more.
Boolean Data Types
Boolean types represent truth values. True or False are the only
possible values. Often used in conditional statements.
Truth Values Values
Represents true or false Only two possible values:
conditions. True or False.
Conditional Logic
Essential for conditional statements.
List Data Types
Lists are ordered collections. They can contain different data types.
Lists are mutable (changeable). Defined using square brackets.
Ordered
Maintains the order of items.
Mutable
Changeable, items can be added/removed.
Versatile
Holds various data types.
Tuple Data Types
Tuples are also ordered collections. However, tuples are immutable. Cannot be changed after creation. Defined
using parentheses.

Dictionary Data Types
Dictionaries store key-value pairs. Keys must be unique.
Dictionaries are mutable. Defined using curly braces.
1 Key-Value
Stores data as key-value pairs.
2 Unique Keys
Keys must be unique within a dictionary.
3 Mutable
Dictionaries can be changed.
