     9     Welcome friends. 

    10     

    11     In this tutorial we shall look at data types available in Python and 

    12     how to perform simple Input and Output operations. 

    13     for dealing with 'Numbers' we have: int, float, complex

    14     'Strings' are there for handling Text content.

    15     For conditional statements 'Booleans' are supported.

    16     

    17     Lets start by covering one by one, firstly 'numbers'

    18     All 'whole numbers' irrespective of how big they are, are of 'int'

    19     data type

    20     Lets get started by opening IPython interpreter. Now we will create

    21     some variables say:

    22     a = 13

    23     print a

    24 

    25     To check the data type of any variable Python provides 'type' function

    26     type(a)

    27     

    28     b = 999999999999

    29     print b

    30     

    31     And 

    32 

    33     Thus we come to the end of this tutorial on introduction of Data types in

    34     Python. In this tutorial we have learnt what are supported data types, 

    35     supported operations and performing simple IO operations in Python.
