Variables can store data of different types - so far we have discussed numbers (integers and floats), strings, lists, and bools. You can determine the type of a variable using type():

type(45)

Output:

int

Here’s the string type:

type("Hello")

Output:

str

The list type:

type([2, 5, 7, 10])

Output:

list

The boolean type:

type(True)

Output:

bool
