Python
Variables & Data Types
Python variables don't need a declared type, just assign a value with
= and Python figures out the type from what you assigned.
Example: checking a variable's type
name = "Ada"
age = 21
gpa = 3.8
print(type(name), type(age), type(gpa))<class 'str'> <class 'int'> <class 'float'>The core built-in types: str (text), int
(whole numbers), float (decimals), and bool
(True/False). Note Python distinguishes
int from float, unlike JavaScript, which uses
one number type for both, which matters the moment you divide two whole
numbers and get a decimal result back.
name = "Ada"
age = 21
gpa = 3.8
print(type(name), type(age), type(gpa))<class 'str'> <class 'int'> <class 'float'>
