Python Data types are the classification or categorization of
data items.
It represents the kind of value that tells what operations can
be performed on a particular data.
Since everything is an object in Python programming,
Python data types are classes and variables are instances
(objects) of these classes.
The following are the standard or built-in data types in
Python:
Numeric – int, float, complex
Sequence Type – string, list, tuple
Mapping Type – dict
Boolean – bool
Set Type – set
In [2]: a = 5
print(type(a))
b = 5.0
print(type(b))
c = 2 + 4j
print(type(c))
<class 'int'>
<class 'float'>
<class 'complex'>
In [16]: _test5 = 100
print(_test5)
100
In [18]: s = 'Welcome to the World'
print(s)
# check data type
print(type(s))
# access string with index
print(s[1])
print(s[2])
print(s[-4])
