๐ Data Types in Python
Python is dynamically typed, which means you don't need to declare the type of a variable explicitly. The language automatically figures it out for you! ๐ง
Here are some common data types in Python:
Integer: Represents whole numbers, like 1, 10, -5, etc. ๐ฐ๏ธ
Float: Represents decimal numbers, like 3.14, 2.718, etc. ๐ฅง
String: Represents a sequence of characters, like "Hello, Python!" ๐
Boolean: Represents True or False. It's handy for making decisions in code. โ โ
List: Represents an ordered collection of elements, like [1, 2, 3]. ๐
Tuple: Similar to lists, but they are immutable (cannot be changed). ๐ฆ
Dictionary: Represents key-value pairs, like {"name": "John", "age": 30}. ๐๐
That's just the beginning! Python has many more data types and powerful features to explore. ๐
So, go ahead and have fun playing with Python! ๐ If you encounter any hurdles along the way, don't worry. There's a vast community of Python enthusiasts ready to help you out. ๐ค
Happy coding! ๐๐๐ป
