    DATA TYPES

                      Data types are used to define the type of value a data can contain. Each variable in Python is
                      associated with some data type. Each data type requires a different amount of memory and
                      has some specific operations performed on it.  Data types are divided into two categories as
                      shown below:

                                                                        Data Types

                                        Numbers                  Sets               Sequence               Boolean

                           Integer/long               Float               String                   Lists

                                        Complex                                        Tuple

                      NUMBER
                      Integer numbers, floating-point numbers and complex numbers are the built-in numeric data
                      types of Python.

                      Integer/Long

                      Integers are whole numbers consisting of + or – signs. They do not have decimal places between
                      them. For example, 87, -3 are called integer numbers.

                      Float
                      Float data type represents numbers that contain a decimal point. For example, 0.6, -3.257 are
                      called floating-point numbers. These numbers can also be written using ‘e’ or ‘E’ to represent the
                      power 10.
