Data Types

A data type is an attribute that tells the computer what kind of data a variable can have. The concept of data type
is mostly used in those programming languages where the type of variable is known at compile time. Each data
type requires different amounts of memory and has some specific operations which can be performed over it.
Some of the commonly used data types in Python programming language are as follows:

Data Types

Mapping
Numeric Boolean Set (dictionary) Sequence

Integer Float Complex String List Tuple

Let us learn some of the standard built-in data types of Python.

u Numeric: Numeric data types are used for arithmetic or numerical operations. The two most commonly
used numeric data types in Python are integer, float and complex.

u Boolean: The Boolean data type can be used to represent one of the two values and these values are: true
or false. Mostly it is used to draw a comparison between two values. For example:

u Set: Set is a mutable, unordered collection of values of any type with no duplicate element. For example:

u Maps (Dictionary): Maps are unordered type of data used for mapping keys with its corresponding values.
