A type in Python is a category of data which have the same characteristics that distinguishes them as a class or group.<\/span><\/p>\n

The basic types in Python are integers, float and strings. <\/span><\/p>\n

Integers are whole numbers from negative to infinitive. An integer could be -100, 32, 34, 1234, etc. <\/span><\/p>\n

Float numbers are numbers with decimal point, such as 3.1416, -2.39, 3.2, etc. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

String data contains a string of letters enclosed between quotation marks. If numbers are between quotation marks (like ‘17’ or ‘3.4’ ) their type is string. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Assigning a type to a variable<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To assign the string type to a variable, you need to write something like this I your code: <\/span><\/p>\n

M = ‘This is the string of letters I want to assign to the M variable’ <\/span><\/p>\n

Being This is the string of letters I want to assign to the M variable<\/em> the string set of characters you want to assign to the variable. <\/span><\/p>\n

To assign the integer type to a variable, you need to write the name of your variable, followed by an equal sign and the number after it. Like in here: <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>B = 2<\/span><\/p>\n

To assign the float type to a variable, you need to write the name of your variable, followed by an equal sign and the number with decimal point after it. Like in here:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>C = 3.1416<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Assigning a type to a variable through an input.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To assign the integer type to a variable in Python through an input, you need to write the following line of code: <\/span><\/p>\n

A = int(input(“Write the number you want to assign the integer type”))<\/span><\/p>\n

Being write the number you want to assign the integer type <\/em>an example of message to print in the shell. <\/span><\/p>\n

To assign the float type to a variable in Python through an input, you need to write pretty much the same, but using float instead of int. <\/span><\/p>\n

B = float(input(“Write the number you want to assign the float type”))<\/span><\/p>\n

Being write the number you want to assign the float type <\/em>an example of message to print in the shell. <\/span><\/p>\n

To assign the string type to a variable in Python through an input, you need to write a similar line of code like in the previous examples. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>C= str(input(“Write the string of data you want to assign to this variable”))<\/span><\/p>\n

This is pretty much how a type works in Python.<\/span><\/p>\n
