Basic Data Types
String
You've just learned how to call print() to display some text. The message inside the print() is a string:
'Hello, Buzz Coders!'
String is one of the basic data types in Python. They can be enclosed in either single or double quotation marks.
More string examples:
"I can write code"is a string in double quotes'Python is fun!'is a string in single quotes
Integer
Another basic data type is the integer:
8is an integer10588is another integer-75is a negative integer
There are no quotation marks around numbers. If you use quotation marks, then it becomes a string that contains digits.
Try it! Print out an integer using print() function, like so:
print(28)
Simple math
We all know that computers are good at math. Here is how we can use Python to calculate numbers:
print(3 + 15)
print(10 - 2)
print(3 * 8)
print(25 / 5)
print((2 + 4) * (10 - 5))
Console results:
18
24
8
5
30
