                    Circle the incorrect variable  in the following code.
                    Roll no = 201     Student Name = "Chirag"      Section = 'A'




                         DATA TYPES


                  A data type specifies the type of value a variable can contain. For example, a person’s name must

                  be stored as a string value whereas the person’s age must be stored as an integer.  Data types in
                  Python are:

                      int:  Positive or negative whole numbers (without any fractions). Example: a = 3

                      float: Any real number in which a fraction is denoted by a decimal symbol. Example: a = 3.5

                      string:  A string  value is a collection  of one  or more  characters  put  in single  or double  quotes.
                    Example: a="hello"



                         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 Multiline 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")



                       Multiple-line Comment


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