Strings
                  A string is a sequence of one or more characters put in single quotes, double quotes or triple quotes
                  which are used to represent text-based information. The quotes are not a part of the string.


                  List
                  A list is a collection of data elements separated by comma(,) and enclosed within square brackets.
                  We can also create a list with the same or different data elements.

                  Tuple

                  A tuple is just like a list. It contains a group of elements that can be of different data types. The
                  elements in the tuple are separated by a comma and enclosed in parentheses (). The difference
                  between list and tuple is that list can be modified but tuples cannot be modified after it is created.
                  Boolean

                  Boolean is a data type with two built in values: True or False. They are used for logical evaluation.
                  A True statement returns value 1 while a False statement returns value 0.

                  Comments in Python

                  Comments in Python can be used to explain parts of the code. It can also be used to hide the code as
                  well. Comments enable us to understand the way a program works. In Python, any statement starting
                  with # symbol is known as a comment. Python does not execute comments. Comments are not a
                  part of the program, but they do enhance the interactivity of the program and make it readable.
                  Python supports two types of comments: Single-line comment and Multi-line comment.

                  Single-Line Comment

                  In case, a user wants to specify a single-line comment, then comment must start with the symbol #.
                  Example:

                    Program:                                         Output:
                    #printing a string                               Hello World

                    print("Hello world")

                  Multi-Line Comment

                  Python does not have a syntax for multi-line comments. To add a multi-line comment, you could
                  insert a # for each line.
                  Example:


                    Program:                                         Output:

                    #printing a string                               Hello World
                    #printing four names                             Rachna
                    print("Hello World")                             Sambhav
