Python Data Types

The data stored in the memory can be of many types. For example, a person’s name is stored as an alphabetic value, his age is stored in the numeric and his address is stored as an alphanumeric value. Sometimes, we also need to store answers only ‘yes’ or ‘no’, i.e., true or false. This type of data is known as Boolean data.

Python data types which are as follows:

• Numeric
• Text
• Sequence 
• Mapped
• Binary
• Boolean
• Set
• NoneType

How do we get the Data Type?

We can get the data type of any object in Python by using the type() function.

a = 5
print(type(x))

OUTPUT

<class 'int'>

Numeric Data Type

a = 5 
b = 1.23
c = 5j

#display the Value
print(a)
print(b)
print(c)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 
print(type(b)) 
print(type(c)) 

OUTPUT

5
1.23
5j
<class 'int'>
<class 'float'>
<class 'complex'>

Text Data Type

a = "Hello Wolrd"

#display the Value
print(a)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 

OUTPUT

Hello World
<class 'str'>

Sequence Data Type

list

a = ["red", "blue", "black"]

#display the Value
print(a)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 

OUTPUT

['red', 'blue', 'black']
<class 'list'>

tuple

a = ("red", "blue", "black")

#display the Value
print(a)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 

OUTPUT

('red', 'blue', 'black')
<class 'list'>

range

a = range(8)

#display the Value
print(a)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 

OUTPUT

range(0, 8)
<class 'range'>

Mapped Data Type

dict

a = {"name" : "Alex", "age" : 35}

#display the Value
print(a)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 

OUTPUT

{'name': 'Alex', 'age': 35}
<class 'dict'>

Binary Data Type

bytes

a = x"PythonCodeverse"

#display the Value
print(a)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 

OUTPUT

x'PythonCodeverse'
<class 'bytes'>

bytearray

a = bytearray(4)

#display the Value
print(a)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 

OUTPUT

bytearray(b'\x00\x00\x00\x00')
<class 'bytearray'>

memoryview

a = memoryview(bytes(5))

#display the Value
print(a)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 

OUTPUT

bytearray(b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00')
<class 'bytearray'>

Boolean Data Type

a = True

#display the Value
print(a)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 

OUTPUT

True
<class 'bool'>

Set DataType

set

a = {'red', 'blue', 'green', 'black'}

#display the Value
print(a)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 

OUTPUT

{'red', 'blue', 'green', 'black'}
<class 'set'>

frozenset

a = frozenset({'red', 'blue', 'green', 'black'})

#display the Value
print(a)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 

OUTPUT

frozenset({'red', 'blue', 'green', 'black'})
<class 'frozenset'>

None Data Type

a = None

#display the Value
print(a)

#print the data type
print(type(a)) 

OUTPUT

None
<class 'NoneType'>
