let us now try to execute few statements in interactive mode to determine the data type of the variable using built-in function type(example num type(num num - type(num var true type(var float - type(float float - * ** print(float type(float )- var - + print(var type(var )(- + jvariables of simple data types like integersfloatbooleanetc hold single values but such variables are not useful to hold long list of informationfor examplenames of the months in yearnames of students in classnames and numbers in phone book or the list of artefacts in museum for thispython provides data types like tupleslistsdictionaries and sets sequence python sequence is an ordered collection of itemswhere each item is indexed by an integer the three types of sequence data types available in python are stringslists and tuples we will learn about each of them in detail in later brief introduction to these data types is as follows(astring string is group of characters these characters may be alphabetsdigits or special characters including spaces string values are enclosed either in single quotation - notes
