PCEP Practice Question: Data Types, Variables, Basic I/O and Operators
Which THREE of the following are Python built-in data types?
⚠ Common exam trap
Python Institute often tests the distinction between built-in types and module-provided types, so candidates may mistakenly think `array` is built-in because it is commonly used, or assume `char` exists due to familiarity with other languages like C or Java.
