What is the name of data type for character in python?

Question

Can anyone tell me what is the name of the data type for character in python?

Answer 1

In Python, str is the datatype for characters or Unicode characters. The string is initialized with the set of characters in between single-quotes or double-quotes.

Examples:

firstName = 'john'

lastName = 'cena'

print('The datatype of firstName is: ', type(firstName))

print('The datatype of lastName is: ', type(lastName))

output:

The datatype of firstName is:  <class 'str'>

The datatype of lastName is:  <class 'str'>
