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.

            Example:

                    Program :                                    Output :

                    # printing a string                          Rakesh
                    #print five names                            Rachna
                    print("Rakesh")                              Sambhav

                    print("Rachna")                              Akshat
                    print("Sambhav")
                                                                 Tushar
                    print("Akshat")
                    print("Tushar")
            However, the text written inside triple quotes (''' or ''"") is also considered as comment. You can use the
            triple quotes to write multiline comments. For example:

                             '''This is                         """This is

                                Multiline               OR         Multiline
                                Comment'''                         Comment"""


                                                                                                     #Python 123
