Types of Data

There are three types of data in Python. They are:

1. String

2. Integers

3. Float

-----------------------------------------------

 String refers to text.

To declare a string, you can do variableName = '[initial value]' or variableName = "[initial value]"

 Example:

userName = 'bee'

userName = "bee"

userAge = '25'

Because we wrote userAge = '25', userAge is a string. Furthermore, if userAge = 25, userAge is an integer.

We can combine substrings by using the concatenate sign, such as:

"dingus" + "Bringus" is equivalent to "dingusBringus".

-------------------------------------------------

Integers are whole numbers that can be positive or negative, such as -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, etc.

To declare an integer in Python, simply write variableName = [initial value]

i.e. userAge = 20

-------------------------------------------------

Float are decimal numbers that can be both positive and negative, such as 54.35, -12.4657, etc.

To declare a float in Python, we do variableName = [initial value]

For example, userWeight = 75.4
