Data types are the building blocks of every programming language. Any variable that stores a value contains some data which can be Boolean, string, number, etc. We talk in terms of classes and objects in Python. Data types are classes and the variables are objects. We can operate a variable based on what kind of data it has stored. In this article, we are going to explain all the data types available in Python and how we operate on them.
