Data types are the classification of data items. Data types represent a kind of value which determines what operations can be performed on that data.

It represents whether the value is Numeric, non-numeric and Boolean (true/false) data or other datatypes.

Types of Datatypes

• Number - integer, float, complex (3+2j)
• Boolean - bool
• Text - String
• Sequence - List, Tuple
• Map - Dictionary
• Set - Sets

These are the different types of datatypes available in python. Now the detailed explanation with an example is given in the table below.

Datatypes

Type of the variable

pi = 3.14
print(type(pi))            

In the above code, the type of the variable is found by using the type keyword and passing the variable as a input to find the type of the variable. We have not covered datatypes but just remember we can use type to find the data type of the variable.
