The type indicates set values and operations on those values. In any programming language, the data type specifies what type of value a variable can hold. Fortunately it is not need to specify explicitly data type in Python because it is auto infer.
- But if you want to specify type, you can also do it.
- The 'type' is used to know type of variable.
- In Python the type is set to variable when we assign value to it.
- The following example shows use of different data types.
Python has the following data types built-in by default, in these categories:
1.Text Type: str
2.Numeric Types: int, float, complex
3.Sequence Types: list, tuple, range
4.Mapping Type: dict
5.Set Types: set, frozenset
6.Boolean Type: bool
7.Binary Types: bytes, bytearray, memoryview
Depending upon situation we use different types in our program.
#If you want to know the data type of a variable, this can be done with type #In Python, the data type is set when you assign a value to a variable: x=5 y=10.25 z="hello" print(type(x)) print(type(y)) print(type(z)) print("--------------------------------------------------------") x = str("Hello World") #If you want to specify the data type, you can use the following constructor functions: #display x: print(x) #display the data type of x: print(type(x)) x = range(6) #display x: print(x) #display the data type of x: print(type(x))
the following is output of above program
<class 'int'> <class 'float'> <class 'str'> -------------------------------------------------------- Hello World <class 'str'> range(0, 6) <class 'range'>
