Built-in Data Types in Python with Example

 

Built-in Data Types

Variables can store data of different types, and different types can do different things.

Getting the Data Type

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

'int' Data Type

Python 

x = 5

print(type(x))

Output

<class 'int'>

'str' Data Type

Python 

x = "Hello World"

print(type(x)) 

Output

<class 'str'>

'float' Data Type

Python 

x = 20.5

print(type(x))

Output

<class 'float'>

'complex' Data Type

Python 

x = 1j

print(type(x)) 

Output

<class 'Complex'>

'list' Data Type

Python 

x = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

print(type(x)) 

Output

<class 'list'>

'tuple' Data Type

Python 

x = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")

print(type(x)) 

Output

<class 'tuple'>

'rang' Data Type

Python 

x = range(10)

print(list(x)

Output

<class 'rang'>

'dict' Data Type

Python 

x = {"name" : "John", "age" : 36}

print(type(x)) 

Output

<class 'dict'>

'set' Data Type

Python 

x = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}

print(type(x)) 

Output

<class 'set'>

'frozenset' Data Type

Python 

x = frozenset({"apple", "banana", "cherry"})

print(type(x)) 

Output

<class 'frozenset'>

'bool' Data Type

Python 

x = True

print(type(x)) 

Output

<class 'bool'>

'byte' Data Type

Python 

x = b"Hello"

print(type(x)) 

Output

<class 'byte'>

'none' Data Type

Python 

x = none

print(type(x)) 

Output

<class 'none'>
