Python Data Types

Python has several built-in data types to store different kinds of values. Here are the main data types in Python:

Numeric Types

Python has three numeric types: int, float, and complex.


                    x = 5  # int

                    y = 2.5  # float

                    z = 1+2j  # complex

Sequence Types

Python has three sequence types: list, tuple, and range.


                    my_list = [1, 2, 3]  # list

                    my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)  # tuple

                    my_range = range(6)  # range

Modifying Lists


                    my_list.append(4)  # Add an item

                    my_list[0] = 0  # Modify an item

                    del my_list[1]  # Remove an item

Modifying Tuples

Tuples are immutable, but you can create a new tuple based on the existing one.


                    my_tuple = my_tuple + (4,)  # Create a new tuple with an additional item

Text Type

Python has one text type: str (string).


                    my_string = "Hello, World!"

Mapping Type

Python has one mapping type: dict (dictionary).


                    my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 30}

Modifying Dictionaries


                    my_dict["city"] = "New York"  # Add or modify an item

                    del my_dict["age"]  # Remove an item

Set Types

Python has two set types: set and frozenset.


                    my_set = {1, 2, 3}  # set

                    my_frozenset = frozenset([1, 2, 3])  # frozenset

Boolean Type

Python has one boolean type: bool.


                    x = True

                    y = False
