Python Data Types

Share to

Data type is a medium or memory on the computer used to hold information.

Python itself has quite unique data types if we compare it with other programming languages.

Here are the data types of the Python programming language:

Data Type	Example	Explanation
Boolean	`True` or `False`	Declares true `True` which has value `1`, or false `False` which has value `0`
String	`"Let's learn Python"`	Declares characters/sentences can be numbers, letters etc. (flanked by `"` or `'`)
Integer	`25` or `1209`	Declares integers
Float	`3.14` or `0.99`	Declares numbers that have decimal points
Hexadecimal	`0x9a` or `0x1d3`	Declares numbers in hex format (base 16 numbers)
Complex	`1 + 5j`	Declares pairs of real and imaginary numbers
List	`['xyz', 786, 2.23]`	Sequence data that stores various data types and its contents can be changed
Tuple	`('xyz', 768, 2.23)`	Sequence data that stores various data types but its contents cannot be changed
Set	`{'apple', 'orange'}`	Unordered collection of unique data and cannot have duplicates
Dictionary	`{'name': 'adi','id':2}`	Sequence data that stores various data types in the form of key and value pairs

To try various kinds of data types, please try the Python script below.

#Boolean data type
print(True)

#String data type
print("Let's learn Python")
print('Learning Python is Very Easy')

#Integer data type
print(20)

#Float data type
print(3.14)

#Hexadecimal data type
print(0x9a)

#Complex data type
print(5j)

#List data type
print([1,2,3,4,5])
print(["one", "two", "three"])

#Tuple data type
print((1,2,3,4,5))
print(("one", "two", "three"))

#Set data type
print({1,2,3,4,5})
print({"apple", "orange", "mango"})

#Dictionary data type
print({"name":"Budi", 'age':20})
#Dictionary data type checked into biodata variable
biodata = {"name":"Andi", 'age':21} #process initialization of biodata variable
print(biodata) #process printing biodata variable containing Dictionary data type
print(type(biodata)) #function to check data type kind. will appear <class 'dict'> which means dict is dictionary data type
