Data Types

Previous Lesson

Just like in English, there are adjectives, nouns, pronouns, and more, in Python we have data types. Some data types in python are:

String - A list of characters in quotation marks. (Represented by keyword "str").
- String

Integer - A number that is not a decimal/fraction. (Represented by keyword "int").
- Integer

Float - A number that is a decimal/fraction. (Represented by keyword "float").
- Float

Boolean - True or False. Nothing else. Just True or False. (Represented by keyword "bool").
- Boolean

Variables

A variable is something that represents a term. Examples of variables are:

Examples

You can assign a variable by saying the variable name, putting an equal sign, and then putting the term that the variable represents.

variable = term

You can also change existing variables just by writing the variable name again and then writing the new value.

Examples

As you can see above, in the first line, the variable was equal to "Hi how are you?" and in the second line, the variable changed to "What's your name?".
