Congratulations, you made it to the end of the course! Make it stick: Mentor AI will check what you’ve got down, help you build something with it, and find your #1 takeaway to share in the discussion.
Or go straight to the discussion section and share your #1 takeaway and how you’ll put your new skills to use.
00:00 Well done! You’ve reached the end of this course on basic data types. You’ve seen what ints are and different ways to construct and convert them to different formats.
00:12 You’ve looked at floats and seen the different ways of creating and converting those. You’ve looked at complex numbers.
00:21 You’ve looked at strings—different kinds of strings, such as raw strings and triple-quoted strings—escape sequences, and the methods that you can apply to all of those kinds of strings.
00:33
You’ve looked at Booleans, True and False values, and the truthy nature of Python objects and comparisons. And you’ve seen a wide range of built-in functions which allow you to speed your Python programming, making it more efficient, more reliable, and faster.
00:53 We hope you’ve enjoyed this course, and we’ll see you again soon at realpython.com.

This section was very rich. I was hesitant to go through this section because it says basic but I learned a ton. I was especially excited by these two: 1- Triple quoted strings - amazing 2- hash function used to compare two texts or even check the integrity of a file.
I am so excited for the remaining of the course.

I had some previous experience with Python scripts and expected to skip through a lot of parts but I quickly found there was a lot I didn’t know and some useful methods I was unaware of. In future the dir() command will be particularly helpful for finding the available methods to use before doing it the longer or less efficient way. I will also try the end command in print statements which I have not used before.

Thought I knew a lot about scripting in Python, but I have found out that there is a lot that must be reviewed. I will be using this video course again while practicing writing scripts. Thank you.
