Basic Data Types

This chapter covers the basics of Python, which are essential for writing programs or scripts. Python has various data types like sets, strings, lists, and dictionaries that are important for programming. It also includes numeric data types and strings, which are sequences of characters.

• Lists: Ordered sequences of elements that can be changed (mutable).

• Sets: Collections of unordered elements that cannot be changed (immutable).

• Tuples: Similar to sets but use parentheses and are also immutable.

These elements help programmers create effective Python programs for various applications.

Python variables can store different types of data, and each type can perform different functions. Here are the built-in data types in Python:

• Sequences:

  1. String: str()

  2. List: list()

  3. Tuple: tuple()

  4. Range: range()

• Mapping:

  1. Dictionary: dict()

• Set: set()

• Numbers:

  1. Integer: int()

     • Boolean Value: bool()

  2. Float: float()

  3. Complex: Complex numbers

• None: Represents the absence of a value
