Data types are the classification or categorization of data items.Data types represent a kind of value which determines what operations can be performed on that data. Numeric, non-numeric and Boolean (true/false) data are the most used data types.

Python has the following standard or built-in data types:

Text Type:	str
Numeric Types:	int, float, complex
Sequence Types:	list, tuple, range
Mapping Type:	dict
Set Types:	set, frozenset
Boolean Type:	bool
Binary Types:	bytes, bytearray, memoryview

In Python, the data type is set when you assign a value to a variable:

Example	Data Type
x = “Welcome”	str
x = 14	int
x = 21.5	float
x = 4j	complex
x = [“monkey”, “dog”, “cow”]	list
x = (“orange”, “mango”, “apple”)	tuple
x = range(8)	range
x = {“name” : “Mohan”, “age” : 27}	dict
x = {“mango”, “apple”, “banana”}	set
x = frozenset({“sparrow”, “parrot”, “hen”})	frozenset
x = True	bool
x = b”Welcome”	bytes
x = bytearray(6)	bytearray
x = memoryview(bytes(6))	memoryview
