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.
            Boolean

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

            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                            Hello World
              #print five names                             Rachna
              print("Hello World")                          Sambhav
