Core Python Programming (2nd Edition)

4.2. Standard Types

• Numbers (separate subtypes; three are integer types)

  • Integer

    • Boolean

    • Long integer

  • Floating point real number

  • Complex number

• String

• List

• Tuple

• Dictionary

We will also refer to standard types as "primitive data types" in this text because these types represent the primitive data types that Python provides. We will go over each one in detail in Chapters 5, 6, and 7.
