Introduction
In Python, data types are used to define the kind of value a variable holds. They are broadly classified
into groups such as Numeric, Sequence, Set, Mapping, and Boolean. Each group contains specific
types with different functionalities.
Classification of Data Types
Python Data Types:
■
■■■ Numeric → int, float, complex
■■■ Sequence → str, list, tuple
■■■ Set → set, frozenset
■■■ Mapping → dict
■■■ Boolean → bool
■■■ Special → NoneType
Numeric Data Types
Numeric types deal with numbers.
- int → Integer values (positive, negative, zero)
- float → Decimal numbers
- complex → Numbers with real and imaginary parts
x = 10 # int
y = 3.14 # float
z = 2 + 5j # complex
print(type(x))
print(type(y))
print(type(z))
Sequence Data Types
Sequence means an ordered collection of items.
- str → String (text)
- list → Mutable (can be changed)
- tuple → Immutable (cannot be changed)
name = "Python" # str
fruits = ["apple", "mango"] # list
colors = ("red", "blue") # tuple
print(name[0])
print(fruits[1])
print(colors[0])
Set Data Types
Set types represent an unordered collection of unique elements.
- set → Mutable
- frozenset → Immutable
numbers = {1, 2, 3, 3, 2}
frozen = frozenset([4, 5, 6])
print(numbers)
print(frozen)
Mapping Data Types
Mapping types represent key-value pairs.
- dict → Dictionary in Python
student = {"name": "Debargha", "class": 11, "marks": 95}
print(student["name"])
print(student.get("marks"))
Boolean Data Type
Represents True or False values (used in conditions).
- bool → Either True or False
a = 10
b = 5
result = a > b
print(result)
print(type(result))
None Data Type
Represents no value or null.
x = None
print(x)
print(type(x))
Comparison: Mutable vs Immutable Data Types
Mutable Immutable
list, dict, set tuple, str, frozenset
Conclusion
- Numeric → int, float, complex
- Sequence → str, list, tuple
- Set → set, frozenset
- Mapping → dict
- Boolean → bool
- Special → NoneType
Python data types make programming flexible, powerful, and easy to use.
