Day 3:Data Types in Python

On Day 3 of my Python challenge,I explored data types.
Data types define the kind of value a variable holds like whether it’s text,a number or True/False.Understanding them is super important because they determine what you can (and cannot) do with a value in Python.

Here’s the code I wrote today:
Here’s the code I wrote today:

# String (text)
name = "Sanaipei Lenapunya"
print(name)
print(type(name))

# Integer (whole number)
age = 15 
print(age)
print(type(age))  

# Float (decimal number)
height = 10.7
print(height)
print(type(height)) 

# Boolean (True/False)
is_learning_python = True
print(is_learning_python)
print(type(is_learning_python)) 

What happened when I ran it?

So each variable has a data type:

"Sanaipei Lenapunya" → str (string)

15 → int (integer)

10.7 → float (decimal number)

True → bool (boolean)

The type() function is super helpful when you’re unsure what type of data you’re working with.

GitHub update:
I saved my file as day3(data_type).py, then pushed it with:

git add 'day3(data_type).py'
git commit -m "data types with type()"
git push

Challenge for you:

Try creating your own variables (e.g., favorite number, your height, whether you like coding).

Use type() to check each one.

Your turn:
What’s the most surprising data type you discovered while testing with type()? Share it in the comments!
