    float: It represents real number, where a fraction is denoted by a decimal point.
                        For example:
                        a = 7.5

                         string: A sequence of one or more characters enclosed in single or double quotes.
                        For example:

                       a = "hello"
                     In Python, the input() function always returns a value as a string. To use the input as a number,
                     you must convert it into the appropriate data type. This can be done using the following functions:

                         int(): Converts the input value into an integer.
                        For example:
                        a = int(input("Enter a number: "))

                        This code converts the user’s input into an integer before storing it in the variable a.

                         float(): Converts the input value into a floating-point number.
                        For example:
                        b = float(input("Enter a number: "))

                        This code  converts  the user’s  input  into  a floating-point  value before  storing  it  in the
                        variable b.

                            COMMENTS IN PYTHON

                     Comments explain code for users  and  are  ignored  by Python during  execution. They  can  be
                     single-line or multiline.

                     SINGLE-LINE COMMENT
                     A single-line comment is used to add brief notes or explanations to a single line of code. It starts
                     with the hash symbol (#).

                     Syntax of a single-line comment:

                     # This is a single-line comment

                     MULTILINE COMMENT

                     A multiline comment is used when the comment spans more than one line. Python does not have
                     a specific syntax for multiline comments, but you can use either consecutive single-line comments
                     or triple quotes (''' or """) to create a multiline comment.
                     By writing multiple single-line comments one after another:

                     # This is a multiline comment
                     # using single-line comment syntax

                                                                                                                      137
                                                                                                  Python–Start to Code
