1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,300 Hello and welcome to this video. 2 00:00:02,310 --> 00:00:09,300 In this video I'm going to briefly introduce you to the Python data type. 3 00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:14,320 Code a boolean which is also referred to as a ball. 4 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:22,700 The boolean data type basically has two values which are true or false. 5 00:00:22,890 --> 00:00:31,890 When you're working with data in python there may be times you want to check the validity of certain 6 00:00:31,890 --> 00:00:41,550 conditions you can use the boolean data type to check if those conditions are true or false. 7 00:00:41,550 --> 00:00:50,120 I have got my command prompt so I'm going to access the python shell by typing in Python and then pressing 8 00:00:50,220 --> 00:00:53,630 enter and that should give me the python shell. 9 00:00:53,790 --> 00:00:59,910 If you are on a Mac you need to type in Python 3 on your terminal. 10 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:08,490 So what I want to do I want to use a special method in Pt. on code the type that I can use to check 11 00:01:08,940 --> 00:01:12,750 what class a data type is. 12 00:01:12,780 --> 00:01:19,830 So to do that I just typing I'm not going to encloses in the print statement I'm just going to type 13 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,240 the method inside that method. 14 00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:31,910 I can just type in true and press enter and that should return a class which is going to be a boon. 15 00:01:32,190 --> 00:01:38,430 You can see is giving me a ball which means it is a data type called a boolean. 16 00:01:38,430 --> 00:01:47,250 So if I do the same pi type and inside the parentheses are a false and press enter again they should 17 00:01:47,250 --> 00:01:55,480 give me the ball so you can use the type method to check what type of data you have. 18 00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:58,230 So that is it for this video in this video. 19 00:01:58,260 --> 00:02:05,290 I briefly introduced you to the boolean data type in Python. 20 00:02:05,310 --> 00:02:07,230 Thanks for watching and bye for now.
