What are the variables in python

Question

Hi everyone i am a python newbie and i wana know what are the types of variables with some explination to them . Thanks

Answer 1

python is a dynamically typed language, so you don't need to worry about them much.

but the base types could be considered these

str - string "123"
int - integer 123
float - floating point number 1.23
list - list [1, 2, 3]
tuple - similar to list but unchangeable (1, 2, 3)
set - a set of values, it contains no duplicates {1, 2, 3}
dict - a dictionary {key:value}

now what could be a little confusing, everything is also an object, there is an 'object' type everything in python is based on.

a function is an object too, class is an object, all the above mentioned types are objects.

Answer 2

There is also a 'type' type, to further confuse you. But you really don't need to worry about it until you want to mess with a hierarchy of internal dependencies. I have never done anything with it yet.
