2-Data Types in Python

The document outlines the main built-in data types in Python including numeric types like integers and floats, Boolean, sequences like strings, lists and tuples, and dictionaries. Numeric types represent numbers, Boolean represents true/false values, sequences are ordered collections of data, and dictionaries store data in key-value pairs. The examples provided illustrate how each data type is represented in Python code.

Data Types in Python

The built-in data types in Python are displayed below.

Numeric Any representation of data which has numeric value. Python


identifies three types of numbers – integer, float and complex
number.
Integer Positive and negative whole numbers.

Examples: 1234, -234, 0x46 (hexadecimal number), 0O123


(octal number))

Note: In C and related programming languages such as


Python, a hexadecimal number is prefixed with 0x and an
octal number is prefixed with 0O.

Float Real numbers with a floating point representation in which the


fractional component is denoted by a decimal or scientific
notation

Examples: -55.550, 0.005, 1.32E10 (scientific notation))

Complex A number with a real and imaginary component is represented


number as a + bj inPython where a and b are floats and

j = √-1

​ ​ ​ Examples: 4+6j, -2.3+6.4j


Note: The common mathematical representation of a complex
number uses a +bi with i being the imaginary part. But in
electronics j is used because i already represent current and
the next letter after i is j.

Boolean Any representation of data which has two values denoted by


True and False.

Sequence An ordered collection of similar or different data types. The


built-in Sequence data types in Python are – String, List and
Tuple.

String A collection of one or more characters put in single, double or


triple quotes.

Examples: ‘Hello’, "Hello", "'Hello'", """Hello"""

List An ordered collection of one or more data items, not


necessarily of same type, put in square brackets.
Examples: [1,"Ravi",75.50, True]

Tuple An ordered collection of one or more data items, not


necessarily of same type put in parentheses. The contents of a
tuple cannot be modified – it is immutable - after the tuple is
created.

Examples: (1,"Ravi", 75.50, True)

Note: Refer to the Helper Text to learn more about mutability.

Dictionary An unordered collection of data in key:value pair form.


Collection of such pairs is enclosed in curly brackets.

Example: {1:"Superman", 2:"Wonder Woman", 3:"Thor", 4:


"Hulk", 5:"Black Widow"}
