Python Data Types Explained

List
A list is an ordered, mutable (changeable) collection that can hold a variety of data types.
Lists are defined using square brackets [].

Example:

my_list = [1, 2, 3, "apple", True]


print(my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 'apple', True]

# Accessing elements
print(my_list[1]) # Output: 2

# Adding elements
my_list.append("orange")
print(my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 'apple', True, 'orange']

Dictionary
A dictionary is an unordered, mutable collection of key-value pairs. Dictionaries are defined
using curly braces {}.

Example:

my_dict = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25, "is_student": True}


print(my_dict) # Output: {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25, 'is_student': True}

# Accessing values
print(my_dict["name"]) # Output: Alice

# Adding key-value pairs


my_dict["city"] = "New York"
print(my_dict) # Output: {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25, 'is_student': True, 'city': 'New York'}

Set
A set is an unordered, mutable collection of unique elements. Sets are defined using curly
braces {} or the set() function.

Example:

my_set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5}
print(my_set) # Output: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} (duplicates are removed)

# Adding elements
my_set.add(6)
print(my_set) # Output: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Integer (int)
Integers are whole numbers, positive or negative, without decimals.

Example:

my_int = 42
print(my_int) # Output: 42

# Arithmetic operations
print(my_int + 8) # Output: 50

String
A string is a sequence of characters enclosed in single ' or double " quotes.

Example:

my_string = "Hello, Python!"


print(my_string) # Output: Hello, Python!

# Accessing characters
print(my_string[0]) # Output: H

# String concatenation
print(my_string + " How are you?") # Output: Hello, Python! How are you?

Tuple
A tuple is an ordered, immutable collection. Tuples are defined using parentheses ().

Example:

my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, "apple", True)


print(my_tuple) # Output: (1, 2, 3, 'apple', True)

# Accessing elements
print(my_tuple[1]) # Output: 2
# Tuples are immutable, so we can't modify elements
# my_tuple[0] = 10 # This will raise an error

Key Differences
Type Ordered? Mutable? Duplicates Allowed?
List Yes Yes Yes
Dictionary No Yes No (for keys)
Set No Yes No
Integer N/A Immutable N/A
String Yes Immutable Yes
Tuple Yes No Yes
