DATA TYPES IN PYTHON

Introduction

In programming, data type is an important concept.
Variables can store data of different types, and different types can do different things.
Python has the following data types built-in by default, in these categories:

Types of Datatypes

Text	`String`
Numeric	`int,float,complex`
Sequence	`list,tuple,range`
Mapping	`dict`
Set	`set,frozenset`
Boolean	`bool`
Binary	`bytes,bytearray,memoryview`
Nonetype	`None`

Getting the Datatype

You can get the data type of any object by using the type() function:

type	Example	Getting Type	output
`int`	`a = 100`	`type(a)`	`<class 'int'>`
`float`	`a = 100.43`	`type(a)`	`<class 'float'>`
`complex`	`a = 1j`	`type(a)`	`<class 'complex'>`
`str`	`a = "hello world"`	`type(a)`	`<class 'str'>`
`list`	`a = [2,"hi"]`	`type(a)`	`<class 'list'>`
`tuple`	`a = ("tuple",34.4)`	`type(a)`	`<class 'tuple'>`
`range`	`a = range(10)`	`type(a)`	`<class 'range'>`
`dict`	`a = {1:"hello",2:"world"}`	`type(a)`	`<class 'dict'>`
`set`	`a = {"hello",24,"world"}`	`type(a)`	`<class 'set'>`
`frozenset`	`a = frozenset({"hello",12,4})`	`type(a)`	`<class 'frozenset'>`
`bool`	`a = True`	`type(a)`	`<class 'bool'>`
`bytes`	`a = b'hello'`	`type(a)`	`<class 'bytes'>`
`bytesarray`	`a = bytearray(10)`	`type(a)`	`<class 'bytearray'>`
`memoryview`	`a = memoryview(bytes(10))`	`type(a)`	`<class 'memoryview'>`
`NoneType`	`a = None`	`type(a)`	`<class 'NoneType'>`

Setting the Datatype

If you want to specify the data type, you can use the following constructor functions

type	Example	Getting Type	output
`int`	`a = int(100)`	`type(a)`	`<class 'int'>`
`float`	`a = float(100.43)`	`type(a)`	`<class 'float'>`
`complex`	`a = complex(1j)`	`type(a)`	`<class 'complex'>`
`str`	`a = str("hello world")`	`type(a)`	`<class 'str'>`
`list`	`a = list((2,"hi"))`	`type(a)`	`<class 'list'>`
`tuple`	`a = tuple(("tuple",34.4))`	`type(a)`	`<class 'tuple'>`
`range`	`a = range(10)`	`type(a)`	`<class 'range'>`
`dict`	`a = dict(1="hello",2="world")`	`type(a)`	`<class 'dict'>`
`set`	`a = set(("hello",24,"world"))`	`type(a)`	`<class 'set'>`
`frozenset`	`a = frozenset(("hello",12,4))`	`type(a)`	`<class 'frozenset'>`
`bool`	`a = bool(0)`	`type(a)`	`<class 'bool'>`
`bytes`	`a = bytes(10)`	`type(a)`	`<class 'bytes'>`
`bytesarray`	`a = bytearray(10)`	`type(a)`	`<class 'bytearray'>`
`memoryview`	`a = memoryview(bytes(10))`	`type(a)`	`<class 'memoryview'>`
