1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,080
Let's learn about the Python data types.

2
00:00:04,170 --> 00:00:06,300
All the options we have in Python.

3
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:09,070
Now we're back to our reply.

4
00:00:09,330 --> 00:00:11,280
So we can write some Python code.

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,810
We see over here that we're using Python version 3.6.

6
00:00:16,379 --> 00:00:17,210
That's great.

7
00:00:17,220 --> 00:00:21,750
Let's minimize this and start writing our first Python code.

8
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:25,210
Now we're going to talk about data types.

9
00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:29,880
And Python has several available to us.

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,410
Now I'm going to list them out for you and then we're going to talk about each one individually.

11
00:00:35,530 --> 00:00:38,230
First, we have something called ENT.

12
00:00:38,230 --> 00:00:43,240
And you see right away when I type, I have the rebel already.

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,780
Give me a hint and it's highlighting it if I hover over it.

14
00:00:46,870 --> 00:00:49,840
It shows me that INT stands for integer.

15
00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:53,250
We also have something called float.

16
00:00:54,390 --> 00:00:55,950
We have bull.

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,030
Which stands for bullying.

18
00:00:58,670 --> 00:01:01,700
We have SDR, which stands for String.

19
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:04,370
List.

20
00:01:06,350 --> 00:01:07,100
Tuple.

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,050
Set.

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,910
And dict.

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:15,840
Now.

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,160
What are these?

25
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:18,990
These are data types, right?

26
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:27,480
A data type is a value in Python, so you can think of it as exactly that values.

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,910
So it would represent all numbers.

28
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:37,500
For example, string will represent all letters, for example, and a program is simply instructions

29
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:39,350
that tell a computer what to do.

30
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,580
And what does that mean?

31
00:01:40,590 --> 00:01:47,520
It's all about storing information or a data type and modifying that information.

32
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:50,670
We're taking actions on these data types.

33
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:57,780
So the two crucial steps when learning a programming language is that, well, we have these data types

34
00:01:57,780 --> 00:02:03,240
that we need to understand that exist in a language, and then we need to learn how we can manipulate

35
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:09,270
the data, create store, read change, remove this data from the machine.

36
00:02:09,270 --> 00:02:14,820
Now these data types are called the fundamental data types.

37
00:02:14,820 --> 00:02:18,030
In Python, they are the core to the language.

38
00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:26,520
Now after the fundamental data types, we also have something called classes.

39
00:02:27,650 --> 00:02:31,580
So beyond these data types, we can actually create our own.

40
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:34,360
Using something called classes.

41
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:40,430
So these will be custom types again, something that we'll learn about.

42
00:02:40,450 --> 00:02:44,590
So I can create a class that I can name whatever I want.

43
00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:47,710
For example, super car.

44
00:02:47,890 --> 00:02:52,660
Now that doesn't exist, but I can create it and we'll explore how to do that in the course.

45
00:02:53,590 --> 00:03:00,610
Now, besides the fundamental data types, the classes which will be our own custom types.

46
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,490
We also have something called specialized data types.

47
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,510
And these specialized data types.

48
00:03:12,810 --> 00:03:23,220
They're not built into Python, but they're special packages and modules that we can use from libraries.

49
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:30,780
Now, again, this is a topic that we'll cover later, but these are you can think of it as extra boosts

50
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:38,310
whenever we don't have a data type that we want in the standard Python package.

51
00:03:38,310 --> 00:03:42,150
And maybe we don't want to create our own custom types.

52
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,250
There are specialized data types that we can use from what we call modules.

53
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,080
So you can think of it as extensions that we can add to the language.

54
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,170
Again, something that we'll talk about later on in the course.

55
00:03:55,470 --> 00:04:02,920
And then finally, there's another type that is a little special called None and None.

56
00:04:02,940 --> 00:04:04,740
As you can see, it's being highlighted.

57
00:04:04,740 --> 00:04:07,080
Which means it means something in the language.

58
00:04:07,170 --> 00:04:07,980
None.

59
00:04:08,490 --> 00:04:12,150
As the name suggests, means nothing.

60
00:04:12,180 --> 00:04:16,140
It's kind of like the idea of zero in math.

61
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,570
It's the absence of value.

62
00:04:18,930 --> 00:04:21,089
It's simply nothing.

63
00:04:21,540 --> 00:04:25,890
And you'll see why this is important in programming later on.

64
00:04:26,190 --> 00:04:31,860
So these are our data types that we're going to talk and we're going to use in our language.

65
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:37,350
Now, we're going to start with the fundamental data types, which are nice and simple for us to get

66
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:37,570
through.

67
00:04:37,590 --> 00:04:39,540
So let's start one by one.

68
00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:40,560
And you know what?

69
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,690
Let's start with these two for now.

70
00:04:43,530 --> 00:04:44,550
I'll see you in the next one.

71
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:45,570
Bye bye.
