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


                 Dictionary
                 A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs separated by commas (,) and enclosed within curly

                 braces ({}). Each key is unique and is followed by a colon (:) that separates it from its corresponding
                 value. For example: {"name": "Anairya", "age": 10, "grade": "4th"}.

                 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 is used to represent text-based information. The quotes are not a part of the string. For
                 example, "hello","Orange Education", 'Amit', '365'.


                 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 elements that are the same or have different data
                 types. For example, [1,2,5], ['HELLO',45,87.6].


                 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 commas (,) and enclosed in parentheses (). The difference
                 between a list and a tuple is that list can be modified but tuples cannot be modified after it is
                 created. For example, (7, 9.5, 3), ('a',4,3).


                 BOOLEAN
                 Boolean is a data type with two built-in values: True or False. They are used in logical evaluation.
                 A True statement returns value 1 while a False statement returns value 0.




                           FIND DATA TYPE

                 Python allows us to find out the type of data used in a program by using type() function.
