A data type is a classification that specifies what type of value a variable has and what types of operations can be performed on it. Here's a list of the main data types in Python
1. Numbers:
Integers (int):
Whole numbers, both positive and negative, without decimals. Like 3, -5, 42.Floating-point numbers (float):
Numbers with decimal points or in exponential form, such as 3.14, -0.001, or 2e22. Text:
Strings (str):
Text or characters. Anything inside quotes is
a string, like "Hello!", "1234", or even "True".
3. Boolean:
Booleans (bool):
Represents truth or falsehood. Only two
possible values: True or False. Great for making decisions in your code.
4. Sequences:
Lists (list):
A list of items in an order. You can change
the items (mutable). For example, [1, 'apple', True].
Tuples (tuple):
Like a list, but you can't change it after
making it (immutable). Useful for fixed data. Example: (1, 'banana', False).
5. Mappings:
Dictionaries (dict):
Stores pairs of items as keys and
values. Like a real dictionary with words and their meanings. Example: {'name':
'John', 'age': 30}.
6. Sets:
Sets (set):
A collection of unique items, without order.
Great for when you need to ensure no duplicates. Example: {1, 2, 3, 4}.
7. None Type:
None (NoneType):
Special type representing the absence of a
value, or "nothing". It's like saying a variable is empty or has no
value.
