How to Represent Text, Numbers, and True/False in Python
As mentioned earlier, Python provides a variety of data types to manage different kinds of data.
Let's explore the three fundamental data types in Python: String, Number, and Boolean.
String
A string represents text data and consists of a sequence of characters.
Strings are enclosed in double quotes ("") or single quotes (''), and there is no functional difference between them.
String Example
greeting = "Hello there!" name = 'CodeFriend'
Number
Numeric data types can be divided into integers (int) and floating-point numbers (float).
Number Example
age = 30 # Integer temperature = 98.6 # Float
Boolean
The Boolean data type can hold only two values: True or False.
They are commonly used in conditional statements and logical operations.
Boolean Example
is_active = True is_new_user = False if is_active and is_new_user: print("Welcome!") else: print("See you next time!")
