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'>
>>>
Setting the Specific Data Type
If you want to specify the data type, you can use the following constructor functions:
Example Date Type
x = int(20) int
x = float(20.5) float
x = complex(1j) complex
x = str(“Hello World”) str
x = list((“apple”, “banana”, “cherry”)) list
x = tuple((“apple”, “banana”, “cherry”)) tuple
x = range(6) range
x = dict(name=”John”, age=36) dict
x = set((“apple”, “banana”, “cherry”)) set
x = frozenset((“apple”, “banana”, “cherry”)) frozenset
x = bool(5) bool
x = bytes(5) bytes
x = bytearray(5) bytearray
x = memoryview(bytes(5)) memoryview
You can print some of them to see the result.
