Python Data Types

Python data types refer to the kind of values that a variable may contain. Python has multiple built-in data types, some of which are:

Numeric Types

Text Type

Boolean Type

Sequence Types

list:A list is a sequenced set of data elements comma-separated and surrounded by square brackets.

Example:

list1 = ["Orange", "Mango", "Apple"]
print(list1)

Output

['Orange', 'Mango', 'Apple']

tuple:A tuple is an ordered set of data items delimiting with a comma and within parentheses.

Example:

tuple1 = (IBM", "Google", "Facebook")
print(tuple1)

Output

('IBM', 'Google', 'Facebook')

Mapping Type

dict:A dictionary is an unsorted collection of information with a key-value pair.

Example:

dict1 = {"name":"Rahul", "age":22}
print(dict1)

Output

{'name': 'Rahul', 'age': 22}

Set Type

A set is an unordered collection of distinct items. The members of sets are enclosed in curly braces and separated by commas.

Example:

set1 = {4, 8, 12, 5.2}
print(set1)

Output

{4, 8, 12, 5.2}
