Python Data Types and Type Conversion

Built-in Data Types

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:

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`

Getting the Data Type

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

Example

Print the data type of the variable x:

Type Conversion

You can convert from one type to another with the int(), float(), and complex() methods:

Example

Convert from one type to another:

Welcome To Python

Python is a programming language that lets you work more quickly and integrate your systems more effectively. Python can be easy to pick up whether you're a first time programmer or you're experienced with other languages. This tutorial is designed to help people teach themselves Python . YOUR FIRST PROGRAM Let's start off by creating a short program that displays "Hello world!". In Python, we use the print statement to output text. The print statement needs to be followed by parentheses, which enclose the output we want to generate. Printing Text The print statement can also be used to output multiple lines of text. Each print statement outputs text from a new line. Creating and Printing variable Variables are containers for storing data values. Unlike other programming languages, Python has no command for declaring a variable. A variable is created the moment you first assign a value to it. A variable can have a short name (like x and y) or a more descrip...
