To store various forms of data, Python comes with a number of built-in data types. These include floating-point numbers (float), which are numbers with a decimal point (e.g., y = 3.14), and integers (int), which represent whole numbers (e.g., x = 5). booleans (bool) represent either True or False (e.g., is_active = True), whereas strings (str) hold character sequences contained in quotes (e.g., name = "Alice"). Python also offers tuples (tuple), which are immutable and resemble lists (e.g., my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)), and lists (list), which are ordered collections that can include any data type (e.g., my_list = [1, 2, 3, 'apple']). dictionaries (dict) hold key-value pairs with unique keys (e.g., my_dict = {'name': 'John', my_set = {1, 2, 3, 'apple'}), and sets (set) are unordered collections of unique things.
