Let’s check out some exercises that will help you understand structured data types in Python better, also usually referred to as composite data types as well.
Exercise 5-a
Let's create an empty list and print its type.
list() is a function that creates an empty list. You don’t need to put anything inside list() function to achieve this. The same thing can be achieved by typing brackets: []
type() function will tell you the class type of your variable.
gift_list = []
answer_1 = type(gift_list)
Exercise 5-b
Now, we will create an empty dictionary and print its type.
dict() is a function that creates an empty list. You don’t need to put anything inside dict() function to achieve this.
The same thing can be achieved by typing curly brackets: {}
type() function will tell you the class type of your variable.
grocery_items = {}answer_2 = type(grocery_items)
Exercise 5-c
Then we will create an empty tuple and print its type.
Now let’s see some more exercises about converting data types.
Exercise 5-d
Let's create a list with values in it.
Exercise 5-e
Now let's create a dictionary with values in it.
Exercise 5-f
Finally, let's create a tuple with values in it.
