    DATA TYPES

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

                                                                       Data Types

                                       Numbers                  Sets               Sequence               Boolean

                         Integer/Long                Float               String                   List

                                       Complex               Dictionary               Tuple

                     NUMBERS
                     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.

                     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.

                     Complex

                     A complex is a number that is written in the form a+ bj or a+bJ. It is represented as follows:
                     (real part) + (imaginary part) j.

                                                                                        Tokens and Data Types in Python  91
