Lesson Summary

You learned a ton in this lesson! To summarize, here's a recap of the data types and operators we covered.

Data Types

We covered four important data types that you'll use all the time in programming:

| Data Type | Constructor | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| int | int() | 5 |
| float | float() | 6.5 |
| string | '' or "" or str() | "this is a string" |
| bool | bool() | True or False |

Operators

We also covered four useful sets of operators:

What's Next?

Now that you are familiar with some basic data types and operators, in the next lesson, you'll learn about data structures, where you organize and group together these data types into different containers. You'll also learn about the two remaining types of operators in Python, along with more useful built-in functions and methods.

Additional Practice Resources

When many students are getting started, they often always want more practice. There are a number of great websites you can use for coding exercises and solutions. Two that you should definitely take advantage of are HackerRank and Codewars.

Note: You may find some of the exercises require knowledge on concepts you haven't learned yet. Feel free to google them, or wait until you've gone through all the lessons in this course.

I encourage you to create a profile on both and commit to improving your Python programming skills! As you get better, you can advance to harder problems and sites with even greater challenges. If you spend a lot of time on this, you'll really become a Python programming master.

Happy coding and see you in the next lesson!
