Python Has 14 Primitive Types In 7 Categories With 4 of Them Being Mutable

The aim of this reference📚 is to display primitive data structures in python.

There is 14 of them. I am using this as a reference to using return types in function annotations.

1. notes

---|-------------|------------|-----------
1  | 1x boolean  | bool       | immutable
2  | 1x text     | str        | immutable
3  | 1x mapping  | dict       | _mutable_
4  | 2x set      | set        | _mutable_
5  | 2x set      | frozenset  | immutable
6  | 3x numeric  | int        | immutable
7  | 3x numeric  | float      | immutable
