hey there future coders we're going to talk about data types specifically for python there are four basic data types in Python they integers floats Boolean and strings integers are whole numbers that are positive or negative including zero and have no decimal point floats are also numbers that are positive or negative but have a decimal point a Boolean is either true or false more on that later and a string is just the sequence of characters surrounded by single or double quotation marks in Python the data type is set when we assign a value to a variable we can use the type method to get the data type stored in a variable by simply surrounding the variable with the method we can also explicitly convert one data type to another using casting and using these functions to convert from integer to float for example we just use our integer variable and Surround it with the buildin method in a string is an array of characters that means it's iterable but also immutable we can also declare multi-line strings to a single variable since strings are like arrays we can access each character using indexing and we can Loop over each character using a for Loop we can get the full length of a string when we use the land function and if we want to check if a certain phrase or Cor is in our string we can use the in or not in keyword which will return a Boolean value depending on the result there's more to Strings like slicing and modifying and I'll cover those in a separate video so please like And subscribe for that video lastly booleans we can evaluate an expression and it will either be true or false this is how we get our programs to make decisions based on conditions thank you for your time this has been coda's domain on data types
