The main built-in data types in programming languages typically include:
- Integer types (int, long, short, etc.) — for storing whole numbers.
- Floating-point numbers (float, double) — for fractional numbers.
- Boolean type (bool) — for True/False values.
- Characters (char) — for individual symbols.
- Strings (str) — sequences of characters.
- Arrays — ordered collections of elements of the same type.
- Lists, sets, dictionaries (associative arrays) — more complex data structures, often built-in in high-level languages.
For example, in Python, the main types:
x = 10 # int
y = 3.14 # float
flag = True # bool
s = 'hello' # str
lst = [1, 2, 3] # list
The main difference is in dimensionality and data structure. Series are convenient for one-dimensional data, DataFrame — for tabular data with multiple features.
