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.

                 The range of an integer can be from -2147483648 to 2147483647.

                 Float

                 Float data types represent 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 (real part) +
                 (imaginary part) j.
                 Sets


                 Set is a mutable, unordered collection of values, of any type, with no duplicate element.

                 Dictionary

                 A dictionary in Python is a collection of key-value pairs, where each key is unique, and values can
                 be accessed, updated, or removed using their corresponding keys.

                 Sequence

                 A sequence is an ordered collection of items of similar or different data types. The three types of
                 sequence data types are Strings, Lists and Tuples.

                 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.
