Basic types

The kinds of values a language has built in - integers, floating-point numbers, booleans, strings - and what you can do with each.

Depth 1 · Foundation

You can tell an int, a float and a bool apart, ask type() which one a value is, predict what mixing them gives (an int and a float make a float), and know that Python's ints never overflow while fixed-size ints in other languages do.

Floating-point numbersYou meet types once you have two kinds of number, whole and with a point, and see that they behave differently.
