Python has many data types built-in by default,  some of them 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 and make it easy to understand. 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"""
