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







                                   Numbers                  Sets              Sequence               Boolean






                     Integer/long                Float               String                   Lists



                                   Complex                                       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.

                 Float

                 Float data types represent 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.
