Python supports various data types, each serving a specific purpose. Here are some fundamental data types in Python:

Integers (int): Whole numbers without any decimal points. Example: 5, -12.
Floats (float): Numbers with decimal points or numbers written in scientific notation. Example: 3.14, 2.5e2.
Strings (str): Sequences of characters enclosed in single or double quotes. Example: 'Hello, Python!', "Data Science".
Booleans (bool): Represents the truth values True or False.
Lists (list): Ordered and mutable sequences of elements. Example: [1, 2, 3], ['apple', 'banana', 'orange'].
Tuples (tuple): Ordered and immutable sequences. Example: (1, 2, 3), ('red', 'green', 'blue').
Dictionaries (dict): Unordered collections of key-value pairs. Example: {'name': 'John', 'age': 25}.

Happy coding!
