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 Dictionary 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.

called floating-point numbers. These numbers can also be written using ‘e’ or ‘E’ to represent the
power 10.
Complex
A complex is a number that is written in the form a+ bj or a+bJ. It is represented as follows:
(real part) + (imaginary part) j.
