Basic Data Types in Python

Data type is an important concept in programming that defines the characteristics of data, their possible values, and operations that can be performed with them.

Variables can store data of different types, and different types can perform different actions.

For example, strings can perform concatenation operations, while numbers can perform arithmetic operations.

Python 3.13
number = 42        # integer
pi = 3.14          # float
name = "Python"    # string
is_active = True   # boolean

Built-in Data Types in Python

Python has the following data types built-in by default:

This makes Python very flexible and convenient for rapid development, but it's important to understand the basic data types and their features to write efficient code and avoid errors.

In the future, we will definitely look at each of these types in more detail.
