Python’s Built-in Data Types

Python’s built-in data types are fundamental building blocks used to store and manipulate different kinds of data. Each data type serves a distinct purpose and has specific operations associated with it.

Here’s an overview of the key built-in data types in Python. These built-in data types form the foundation for most Python programs, enabling powerful and flexible ways to store, manipulate, and interact with data.

  • bytearray A mutable array of bytes.
  • bytes An immutable sequence of bytes.
  • complex A complex number.
  • dict A mutable collection of key-value pairs.
  • float A floating-point number.
  • frozenset An immutable collection of unique and hashable objects.
  • int An integer number.
  • list A mutable sequence of objects.
  • object A generic and emtpy object.
  • range An immutable range of integer numbers.
  • set A mutable collection of unique and hashable objects.
  • str An immutable sequence of characters.
  • tuple An immutable sequence of objects.
