Python Setting Data Types
Setting the Data Type
In Python, the data type is set when you assign a value to a variable:
| Example | Data Type | Try it |
|---|---|---|
| x = "Hello World" | str | Try it » |
| x = 20 | int | Try it » |
| x = 20.5 | float | Try it » |
| x = 1j | complex | Try it » |
| x = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"] | list | Try it » |
| x = ("apple", "banana", "cherry") | tuple | Try it » |
| x = range(6) | range | Try it » |
| x = {"name" : "John", "age" : 36} | dict | Try it » |
| x = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"} | set | Try it » |
| x = frozenset({"apple", "banana", "cherry"}) | frozenset | Try it » |
| x = True | bool | Try it » |
| x = b"Hello" | bytes | Try it » |
| x = bytearray(5) | bytearray | Try it » |
| x = memoryview(bytes(5)) | memoryview | Try it » |
Setting the Specific Data Type
If you want to specify the data type, you can use the following constructor functions:
| Example | Data Type | Try it |
|---|---|---|
| x = str("Hello World") | str | Try it » |
| x = int(20) | int | Try it » |
| x = float(20.5) | float | Try it » |
| x = complex(1j) | complex | Try it » |
| x = list(("apple", "banana", "cherry")) | list | Try it » |
| x = tuple(("apple", "banana", "cherry")) | tuple | Try it » |
| x = range(6) | range | Try it » |
| x = dict(name="John", age=36) | dict | Try it » |
| x = set(("apple", "banana", "cherry")) | set | Try it » |
| x = frozenset(("apple", "banana", "cherry")) | frozenset | Try it » |
| x = bool(5) | bool | Try it » |
| x = bytes(5) | bytes | Try it » |
| x = bytearray(5) | bytearray | Try it » |
| x = memoryview(bytes(5)) | memoryview | Try it » |
