-    Welcome friends. 
-    
-    In this tutorial we shall look at data types available in Python and 
-    how to perform simple Input and Output operations. 
-    for 'Numbers' we have: int, float, complex datatypes
-    for Text content we have strings.
-    For conditional statements, 'Booleans'.
-    
-    Lets get started by opening IPython interpreter. 
-    Lets start with  'numbers'
-    All integers irrespective of how big they are, are of 'int'
-    data type
-    Now we will create a variable, say
-    x = 13
-    print x
-
-    To check the data type of any variable Python provides 'type' function
-    type(x)
-    
-    y = 999999999999
-    print y
-    
-    Floating point numbers comes under 'float'
-    p = 3.141592
-    type(p)
-
-    Python by default provides support for complex numbers. 
-    c = 3+4j 
-    c is a complex number. 'j' is used to specify the imaginary part.
-    type(c)
-    Python also provides basic functions for their manipulations like
-    abs(c) will return the absolute value of c(sqrt(a^2 + b^2))
-    c.imag returns imaginary part and c.real gives the real part. 
-
-    Next we will look at Boolean datatype:
-    Its a primitive datatype having one of two values: True or False.
-    t = True
-    print t
-
-    Python is case sensitive language, so True with 'T' is boolean type but
-    true with 't' would be a variable. 
-    
-    f = not True
-    
-    we can do binary operation like 'or' and 'not' with these variables
-    f or t
-    f and t
-    
-    in case of multiple binary operations to make sure of precedence use 
-    'brackets ()'
-    a = False
-    b = True
-    c = True
-    (a and b) or c    
-    True
-    first a and b is evaluated and then the 'or' statement
-    a and (b or c)
-    False
-
-    Now we shall look at Python Strings.
-    In python anything enclosed inside quotes(single or double) is a string
-    so 
-    a = 'This is a string'
-    print a
-    b = "This too!"
-    print b
-    c = '''This one too!'''
-    print c
-    d = """And one more."""
-    print d
-    
-    Similar to lists we covered earlier even string elements can be accessed 
-    via index numbers starting from 0
-
-    print a[0]    
-    print a[5]
-    will 
-    To access last element we can use a[-1] which is one of Pythons feature.
-    print a[-1]
-    len function works with the strings also as it does with the arrays and 
-    returns length of the string.
-    
-    One thing to notice about the string variables is that they are 
-    immutable, that is
-    a[0] = 't'
-    will throw an error
-    
-    Some of methods available for string are:
-    a.startswith('Thi')
-    returns true if initial of the string is same
-    similarly there is endswith
-    a.endswith('ING')
-    a.upper() returns a string with all letters capitalized.
-    and a.lower() returns a string with all smaller case letters.
-    As we have seen earlier use of split function, it returns the list after
-    splitting the string, so
-    a.split()
-    will give list with three elements.
-    we also have 'join' function, which does the opposite of what
-    split does. 
-    ''.join(['a','b','c']) will return a joined string of the list we pass
-    to it. Since join is performed on '' that is empty string we get 'abc'
-    if we do something like
-    '-'.join(['a','b','c'])
-    
-    we come to the end of this tutorial on introduction of Data types in
-    Python. In this tutorial we have learnt what are supported data types, 
-    supported operations and performing simple IO operations in Python.
