Last edited: 2023-11-11

This is an entity that can be:

  • Created at runtime,
  • Assigned to a variable or element in a data structure,
  • Passed as an argument to a function, and
  • Returned as the result of a function.

In Python Index most data types are First-class objects such as Integers , Floats , Dictionaries , Lists and Functions .
