PYTHON DATA TYPES


Here is a table that summarizes the built-in data types in Python, the methods for setting the data type, and examples of each type:

Data TypeSetting the Data TypeExample
Integerint keyword or by using int() functionx = 42 y = int(3.14)
Floatfloat keyword or by using float() functionx = 3.14 y = float(42)
StringUsing quotes (single or double)x = "Hello, World!" y = 'Hello, World!'
BooleanTrue or Falsex = True y = False
ListSquare brackets [] with values separated by commasx = [1, 2, 3] y = ['a', 'b', 'c']
TupleParentheses () with values separated by commasx = (1, 2, 3)<br>y = ('a', 'b', 'c')
DictionaryCurly braces {} with keys and values separated by colonsx = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3} y = {1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c'}
SetCurly braces {} with values separated by commasx = {1, 2, 3} y = {'a', 'b', 'c'}

It's important to note that in Python, variables do not have a specific data type, but the value they hold has a data type. So, the type of a variable can change dynamically as you assign new values to it.

For example:

python
x = 42 print(type(x)) # <class 'int'> x = "Hello, World!" print(type(x)) # <class 'str'>

In most cases, you don't need to set the specific data type in Python, as the type is automatically determined for you. However, in some cases, you may need to explicitly convert a value to a specific data type, as I described in my previous answer.
