Data Types in Python

There are 4 common data types in Python programming, and this applies to most languages as well. We call the value assigned to these data types a variable, and these variables are how the computer stores and works with data.

• Integer (often abbreviated as int):
  An integer is a whole number, meaning it has no fractional or decimal part. For example, 7 is an integer because there is no decimal point.
• Float (short for "floating point"):
  A float is a data type that can hold numbers with a decimal point, meaning it can represent fractional values. For example, 7.7 is a float because it has a decimal part.
• String (often abbreviated as str):
  A string is a data type used to store text, which can contain multiple characters. For example, if a char is 'a', then a string could be "apple" or "ass", meaning it stores more than just a single character.
• Boolean (often written as bool):
  A Boolean is a data type that has only two possible values: True or False. It is used to represent whether a condition is true or not. For example: my_favourite_colour_is_purple = True. This means my favourite colour is purple.. Which it is!!!
