Basic Data Types of Python

 Python Basic Data Types

Python is a popular programming language widely used in various applications such as web development, data science, machine learning, and more. Understanding the basic data types in Python is crucial for beginners to write effective code. In this blog, we will discuss the basic data types in Python 

1. Integer (Int)

The integer data type is used to represent whole numbers, either positive or negative.

Example:

    age = 19

    friend_age = 20

These are both examples of integers. Integers are used in various applications such as counting items, storing ages or grades, and representing numerical data.

2. Float

The float data type is used to represent numbers with decimal points.

 Example

    height = 5.4

    Rate = 4.2

These are both examples of floats. Floats are used in various applications such as storing measurements, scientific calculations, and financial data.

3. String

The string data type is used to represent text or characters. In Python, strings are enclosed in quotation marks, either single or double quotes.

Example:

     name = "Saud"

     Father_name = "Zulfiqar Ali"

These are both examples of strings. Strings are used in various applications such as storing names, addresses, and messages.

4. Boolean

The bool data type in Python is used to represent a boolean value, which can have only two possible states: True or False. Boolean values are often used in decision-making or conditional statements in programming.

Example:

    

    x = True     y = False     if x:     print("x is true")    elif y:

    print("y is true")

  

  elif y and x :

    print("Both x and y are true")

 else:

    print("Both x and y are False")

we first define the boolean variables x and y. Then we use the if, elif (short for "else if"), and else statements to check the values of x and y and execute different code blocks depending on the conditions.

In this specific case, because x is True, the first if statement will be executed and the message "x is true" will be printed. The second elif statement is skipped because y is False. The third elif statement is also skipped because it checks if both x and y are true, which is not the case here. Finally, the else statement is also skipped because at least one of x and y is True.
