In python there are multiple types of data. Each of these has a specific purpose for why certain data should be formatted this way. For text you should use string which is shortened to str. This is used for any text and even number which will not have any arithmetic conducted on them. For numerical data and data for arithmetic operations there are two main data types in python. The first simple one is integer shortened to int. Integer displays only whole numbers while float can display decimal numbers. Sequences can be used as a data type using lists, tuples and ranges. This will be explained in further details in the Lists page.
