Data Types

in Python
An overview of Python's built-in and collection data types.
Introduction

This presentation provides a detailed overview of the fundamental data


types in Python, which are essential for programming in the language.
01

Built-in Types
integers

Integers are whole numbers without a fractional part. In Python,


integers can be of any length, meaning they are not limited by the 32
or 64-bit constraints found in many other programming languages.
Python automatically handles memory allocation for integers.
floats
Floats, or floating-point numbers, represent real
numbers and are used to store decimal values
in Python. They provide a way to perform
arithmetic calculations that require precision,
such as division, and can represent both
positive and negative numbers.
strings

Strings in Python are sequences of characters enclosed in single or


double quotes. They can contain letters, numbers, and symbols. Strings
are immutable, meaning once created, they cannot be modified. Python
provides various methods for string manipulation, including slicing,
concatenation, and formatting.
02

Collection Types
lists

Lists are ordered collections that can hold items of different data types.
They are defined by enclosing elements in square brackets. Lists
support dynamic resizing, allowing you to add or remove items. They
also provide various methods for manipulation, including append,
remove, and sort.
tuples

Tuples are similar to lists in that they are ordered collections, but they
are immutable, meaning their contents cannot be changed after
creation. Tuples are defined using parentheses. They can be used to
store related data and are often utilized to represent fixed collections of
items.
dictionaries
Dictionaries are collections of key-value pairs,
allowing for fast lookups by key. They are
defined using curly braces, with keys and
values separated by colons. Keys must be
unique and immutable. Dictionaries are useful
for storing and managing data that requires a
label or identifier.
Conclusions

Understanding data types in Python is crucial for effective


programming. Each type serves a specific purpose and has its own
methods for manipulation. Mastery of both built-in and collection types
enhances the ability to develop robust applications.
