Overview
In programming, data types are an important concept. Variables can store data of different types, and different types can do different things.
Python has the following data types built-in by default, in these categories:
Type | Example |
---|---|
Text | str |
Numeric | int, float, complex |
Sequence | list, tuple, range |
Mapping | dict |
Set | set, frozenset |
Boolean | bool |
Binary | bytes, bytearray, memoryview |
None | NoneType |
In this section, we’re going to focus on strings, numbers, and booleans. Let’s get started!
