Data Types
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!
