Welcome to the beginners' section of our data types curriculum. In this module, we will explore the basic data types used in programming, which are the building blocks of all programming languages.

Basic Data Types

  1. Numbers 🧮

    • Integer: Whole numbers, such as 1, 2, 3.
    • Floating Point: Numbers with decimal points, such as 1.5, 3.14.
    • Boolean: True or False values, often used for decision-making.

  2. Strings 📜

    • A sequence of characters, such as "Hello, World!".
    • Can be manipulated using various string functions.

  3. Lists 📚

    • Ordered collections of items, such as [1, 2, 3, "a", "b"].
    • Can contain elements of different types.

  4. Tuples 📁

    • Ordered collections of items, similar to lists.
    • Immutable, meaning their elements cannot be changed after creation.

  5. Dictionaries 📋

    • Unordered collections of key-value pairs, such as {"name": "Alice", "age": 25}.
    • Useful for storing and accessing data in a structured way.
