Python Data Types Quiz

Every value in Python has a type, and the type decides what you can do with it. This free quiz has 15 short questions for beginners on the built-in data types: numbers, text, True and False, None, and the four collections you will use all the time.

What the quiz covers

• Numbers: int and float, mixing them and why 0.1 + 0.2 is not exactly 0.3
• Text (str), booleans (bool) and None
• Checking a type with type() and isinstance()
• Collections: list, tuple, dict and set, and when to use which
• Mutable and immutable types, and what can be a dictionary key

How it works

• 15 questions: 11 with one correct answer, 4 where you select every correct answer
• After each question you see the correct answer and a short explanation
• No time limit and no account needed
• Score 70% or more (11 of 15) to pass

Each type has a runnable example: basic data types, lists, tuples, dictionaries and sets. After this one, try the Python Variables Quiz or the Python Basics Quiz.
