Data Types
Python's core built-in types include int (whole numbers), float (decimals), str (text), and bool (True/False). Python also has built-in collection types like list, tuple, and dict, covered in more depth in later topics.
💡 Key insight
Python's int type has no fixed size limit — it can grow to represent arbitrarily large numbers automatically.
Syntax

int, float, str, bool, list, tuple, dictExample
Each variable's type is inferred automatically from the value assigned to it.
py
age = 20 # int
gpa = 8.9 # float
name = "CodeyHub" # str
passed = True # bool
print(type(age), type(gpa), type(name), type(passed))output<class 'int'> <class 'float'> <class 'str'> <class 'bool'>
Try it yourself
Copy this example into the Python compiler and run it — try changing a value and see what happens.
