Basic Data Types

In Python, data types are the fundamental building blocks that define the nature of a value. The most common basic data types include:

• Integers (int): Whole numbers (e.g., 5, -2)

  my_age = 30
  

• Floating-point numbers (float): Numbers with decimal points (e.g., 3.14, -0.5), useful for precise measurements.

   pi = 3.1415
  

• Boolean (bool): True or False values, often used in condition checks.

   is_active = True
  

• Strings (str): Sequences of characters, used to store text.

   name = "Alice"
  

Understanding these types is essential for correct variable usage and arithmetic or logical operations in your programs.
