PythonDSA: Data types

**What is Python?**

- Python is Open source, general purpose, high-level, and object-oriented programming language.

- It was created by **Guido van Rossum**

- Python consists of vast libraries and various frameworks like Django, Tensorflow, Flask, Pandas, Keras etc.

**How to Install Python?**

You can install Python in your System whether it is Windows, MacOS, ubuntu, centos etc. Below are the links for the installation:

- [Windows Installation](https://www.python.org/downloads/)

- Ubuntu: apt-get install python3.6 ?

Task1:

1. Install Python in your respective OS, and check the version.

2. Read about different Data Types in Python.

There are two types of Data Structures in python:

-Primitive Data structure: It is called primitive as they are building blocks for data manipulation and can hold only one type of data.

-Non-primitive data structure: Non-primitive data structure is a type of data structure that can store data of more than one type.

Primitve data structure consists of the following data types:

?* Integer: whole number[int] Integers represent numeric data – they represent whole numbers from negative infinity to infinity.

?* String: a collection of the alphabet[str] Strings are used to store data that involves characters (e.g., names or addresses). Strings can be created in Python by enclosing a sequence of characters within a pair of single or double quotes.

?* Boolean: conditional [True/False] Boolean type only has two types of return values: True and False. These return values are interchangeable with the integers 1 and 0.

?* Float: floating point [float] Floating points are used for rational numbers that usually end with a decimal figure.

Non-primitive data structure consists of the following data types:

* List: Python Lists are used to store collections of heterogeneous items; they can be recognized by their square brackets which hold elements and are separated by a comma.

* Dictionaries: A dictionary is an unordered, changeable, and indexed collection of elements. In Python, dictionaries are written with curly brackets and contain keys and values. See the code below:
