Tipos de datos en Python

This chapter will introduce you to the fundamental Python data types - lists, sets, and strings. These data containers are critical as they provide the basis for storing and looping over ordered data. To make things interesting, you'll apply what you learn about these types to answer questions about the New York Baby Names dataset!

At the root of all things Python is a dictionary. Herein, you'll learn how to use them to safely handle data that can viewed in a variety of ways to answer even more questions about the New York Baby Names dataset. You'll explore how to loop through data in a dictionary, access nested data, add new data, and come to appreciate all of the wonderful capabilities of Python dictionaries.

Let's take a step away from dictionaries and look at some other common numeric and boolean data types along with sets.

Some data types are composites of other data types and give me even more capabilities than a fundamental data type. Let's explore a few complex types from the collections module and data classes.
