Data Types

Variables can be set to many different types of data besides just numbers and strings. Some of the most common data types are str, stands for string, int, stands for integer, float, stands for a number with a floating point, list, tuple, range, dict, stands for dictionary, and bool, which stands for boolean.

Type: str

Strings contain text. They will print exactly what you type. However, here are a few tricks you can use to type them in different ways depending on your use for them.

Type: int and float

Integers are numbers without decimals that can range from -2147483648 to 2147483647. Floats have a greater range from 1.8 x 10^-308 to 1.8 x 10³⁰⁸. Since Python dynamically changes variable types, it's not necessary to specify which you are using.
