The type of the variable is known as Python Data type like integer variable, string variable, tuple, dictionary, list etc. There are two categories of Python data types, one is mutable data types and second is immutable data types.
Immutable Data types in Python
Numeric
String
Tuple
Mutable Data types in Python
List
Dictionary
Set
Immutable Data types in Python
1. Numeric Data Type in Python
Integer – In Python 3, there is no upper bound on the integer number which means we can have the value as large as our system memory allows.
Exam:
num = 10
print(num)
Float –The float values are those values which have decimal points, there is no need to identify the float data type in Python. It is define by assigning to a variable like fnum is a float data type.
Exam:
fnum = 11.54
print(fnum)
Output:
11.54
Complex Number – Complex number is the combination of real and imaginary parts. Python is capable to identify these complex numbers with the values like cnum is a complex number data type.
Exam:
cnum = 3 + 4j
print(cnum)
Output:
3+4j
2. String Data Type in Python
A sequence of characters is known as String in Python. The representation of string data type in Python is “str”. Strings are enclosed with single quotes or double quotes in Python. For example we can take two string one with the double quotes and other string s2 with the single quotes.
Example:
s1= "This is a String"
s2 = 'This is also a String'
print(s1)
Output: This is a String
print(s2)
Output: This a also a String
3. Tuple Data Type in Python
Tuple data type cannot be changed in Python. It is an ordered collection of elements enclosed in round brackets and separated by commas.
# tuple of integers
t1 = (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
print(t1)
Output:
(5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
# tuple of strings
t2 = ("hey", "hello", "by")
# loop through tuple elements
for s in t2:
print (s)
Output:
hey
hello
by
# tuple of mixed type elements
t3 = (5, "Mom", 40, "Dad")
print(t3[1])
Output: Mom
Mutable Data types in Python
1. List Data Type in Python
List is an ordered collection of elements like tuple but it can be changed. A list is enclosed with square brackets and elements are separated by commas.
# list of integers
lis1 = (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
print(lis1)
Output: (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
# list of strings
lis2 = ("Pear", "Mango", "Banana")
for x in lis2:
print (x)
Output:
Pear
Mango
Banana
# List of mixed type elements
lis3 = (10, "Rajesh", 20, "Singh")
print(lis3[3])
Output:
Singh
2. Dictionary Data Type in Python
A collection of key and value pairs is known as Dictionary. It doesn’t allow repeated keys but the values can be duplicate. It is an ordered, indexed and mutable collection of elements.
Exam:
dict = {1:"Rajesh","lastname":"Singh", "age":38}
print(dict[1])
Output: Rajesh
print(dict["lastname"])
Output: Singh
print(dict["age"])
Output: 38
3. Set Data Type in Python
An unordered and unindexed collection of items is known as a set. It means when we print the elements of a set they will appear in the random order and we cannot access the elements of set based on indexes because it is unindexed. Elements of set are enclosed in curly braces and separated by commas
# Set Example
myset = {"hey", 5, "by", "Hello Ram"}
for a in myset:
print(a)
Output:
by
5
hey
Hello Ram
