Intro to Python for Data Science

Python Data Types


● float - real numbers
● int - integer numbers
● str - string, text
● bool - True, False
In [1]: height = 1.73

In [2]: tall = True

● Each variable represents single value

Problem
● Data Science: many data points
● Height of entire family

In [3]: height1 = 1.73

In [4]: height2 = 1.68

In [5]: height3 = 1.71

In [6]: height4 = 1.89
