     In this tutorial we shall look at data types available in Python and 
     how to perform simple Input and Output operations. 
-    for dealing with 'Numbers' we have: int, float, complex
-    'Strings' are there for handling Text content.
-    For conditional statements 'Booleans' are supported.

-    Lets start by covering one by one, firstly 'numbers'
-    All integer numbers irrespective of how big they are, are of 'int'

-    print a
+    Now we will create a variable, say

     To check the data type of any variable Python provides 'type' function
-    type(a)
+    type(x)
     
-    b = 999999999999
-    print b
+    y = 999999999999
+    print y
     
     Floating point numbers comes under 'float'
     p = 3.141592
     type(p)

     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 of the variable
-    and similarly c.real gives real part.

     As we have seen earlier use of split function, it returns the list after
     splitting the string, so

     ''.join(['a','b','c']) will return a joined string of the list we pass

     if we do something like

     supported operations and performing simple IO operations in Python.
