What are Python data types?

Python offers a variety of data types to represent different kinds of data. Let's explore them:

Numeric Types

• int: Represents integer numbers (e.g., 10, -5, 0)
• float: Represents floating-point numbers (e.g., 3.14, 2.5)
• complex: Represents complex numbers (e.g., 2+3j)

Text Type

• str: Represents sequences of characters (e.g., "Hello, world!")

Sequence Types

• list: Ordered and mutable collection of items (e.g., [1, 2, 3, "apple"])
• tuple: Ordered and immutable collection of items (e.g., (1, 2, 3))
• range: Represents an immutable sequence of numbers (e.g., range(5))

Mapping Type

• dict: Unordered collection of key-value pairs (e.g., {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30})

Set Types

• set: Unordered collection of unique elements (e.g., {1, 2, 3})
• frozenset: Immutable version of set (e.g., frozenset({1, 2, 3}))

Boolean Type

• bool: Represents truth values (True or False)

Binary Types

• bytes: Immutable sequence of bytes
• bytearray: Mutable sequence of bytes
• memoryview: Object providing a view of the memory of an existing object
