DATA TYPES


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



                                                                    Data Types

                       Integer/long               Float               String                   Lists




                                    Complex               Dictionary               Tuple




                  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. For example, 87, -3 are called integer numbers.

                  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.
