data types in python code example

Example 1: python data types

# Here are the available types in Python. Use type() to find out what
# type your object is. 
Text Type:		str
Numeric Types:	int, float, complex
Sequence Types:	list, tuple, range
Mapping Type:	dict
Set Types:		set, frozenset
Boolean Type:	bool
Binary Types:	bytes, bytearray, memoryview
  
# Examples of types:
Strings: "This is a string"
  		 'This is also a string'
    	 """
         Triple quotes allow you to have multi-line strings and are
         useful for automatically escaping "single quotes"
         """
Integers: 	1
  			12345678901234567890 # Python 3 can represent huge numbers
    		# Use 0letter# to specify integers in other bases. Letters 
      		# are: b for binary, o for octal, x or X for hexadecimal
      		0b10 = 2 in binary, 0o10 = 8 in octal, 0x10 = 16 in hexadecimal

Example 2: python data types

# Pyhton data types

# Integer
age = 18

# Float (AKA Floating point number)
current_balance = 51.28

# Boolean
is_tall = False # can be set to either True or False

# String
message = "Have a nice day"

# List
my_list = ["apples", 5, 7.3]

# Dictionary
my_dictionary = {'amount': 75}

# Tuple
coordinates = (40, 74) # can NOT be changed later

# Set
my_set = {5, 6, 3}

Example 3: python data types

#use syntax: variable = value
#string
string = 'ASCII text'
#integer
integer = 1234567890
#float
floatnum = 123.456
#list(called arrays in other languages)
numlist = [1,2,3,4,5]
#dictionary(called objects in other languages)
dictionary = {'key','value'}

Example 4: what is the type of the data python

>>> type(1234)
<class 'int'> 
>>> type(55.50) 
<class 'float'>  
>>> type(6+4j)   
<class 'complex'> 
>>> type("hello") 
<class 'str'>     
>>> type([1,2,3,4]) 
<class 'list'>      
>>> type((1,2,3,4)) 
<class 'tuple'>     
>>> type({1:"one", 2:"two", 3:"three"}
<class 'dict'>

Example 5: python data types

# Float
average_tutorial_rating = 4.01
# Integer
age = 20
# Boolean
tutorials_are_good = True # True or False
# arrays/lists
numbers = [1, 2, 3]

Example 6: finding data types in python

To find the data type of data in Python, you use the type() function. You place the variable inside of the type() function and Python returns the data type
