Types of thingsΒΆ
Every value in Python, has a type.
We can show what type of thing something is, by calling type, like this:
type(1)
int
a = 1
type(a)
int
If you get stuck in some code, it is often useful to check what the type of your values are.
We will use multiple types when analyzing data. We cover some of the common ones, in this chapter.
