3.6.9 Data Types
Built-in Data Types
MicroPython has the following data types:
• Text Type: str
• Numeric Types: int, float, complex
• Sequence Types: list, tuple, range
• Mapping Type: dict
• Set Types: set, frozenset
• Boolean Type: bool
• Binary Types: bytes, bytearray, memoryview
Getting the Data Type
You can get the data type of any object by using the type() function:
a = 6.8
print(type(a))
>>> %Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT
<class 'float'>
Setting the Data Type
MicroPython does not need to set the data type specifically, it has been determined when you assign a value to the
variable.
x = "welcome"
y = 45
z = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(type(x))
print(type(y))
print(type(z))
>>> %Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT
<class 'str'>
<class 'int'>
<class 'list'>
