Python datatypes

Datatypes are used to hold different types of values. Python supports the following five standard datatypes.

• Number
• String
• List
• Tuple
• Dictionary

Python automatically determines the data type based on the value assigned to it. You can find the datatype of a variable using type() function.

Example

a=10;
print(type(a)) #int datatype
a='John'
print(type(a)) #string datatype

Output

<class 'int'>
<class 'str'>
