# Python Data Types


In programming, data type is an important concept.

Variables can store data of different types, and different types can do different things.

Every value in Python has a datatype. Since everything is an object in Python programming, data types are actually classes and variables are instance (object) of these classes.

## Python Contains 12 built-in data types

* 4 Numeric Type [ int , float , complex , bool ] 
* 4 Sequence Type [ str , list , tuple , range ]
* 2 Set Type [ set, frozenset ]
* 1 Mapping Type [ dict ]
* 1 Binary Type: [ bytes ]
