DATA TYPES
Data types are used to define the type of value a data can contain. Each variable in Python is
associated with some data type. Each data type requires a different amount of memory and
has some specific operations performed on it. Data types are divided into two categories as
shown below:
Data Types
Numbers Sets Sequence Boolean
Integer/long Float String Lists
Complex Tuple
NUMBER
Integer numbers, floating-point numbers and complex numbers are the built-in numeric data
types of Python.
Integer/Long
Integers are whole numbers consisting of + or – signs. They do not have decimal places between
them. For example, 87, -3 are called integer numbers.

power 10.
