Python Data Types
Built-in Data Types
In programming, data type is 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:
Text Type: str
Numeric Types: int, float, complex
Sequence Types: list, tuple, range
Mapping Type: dict
Set Types: set, frozenset
Boolean Type: bool
Binary Types: bytes, bytearray, memoryview
Getting the Data Type
You can get the data type of any object by using the type() function:
Example
Print the data type of the variable x:
