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