Number data types store numeric values. Number objects are created when you assign a value to them. For example −var1 = 1var2 = 10You can also delete the reference to a number object by using the del statement. The syntax of the del statement is −del var1[, var2[, var3[...., varN]]]]You can delete a single object or multiple objects by using the del statement. For example −del vardel var_a, var_bPython supports four different numerical types −int (signed integers)long (long integers, they can also be represented in octal and hexadecimal)float (floating point real values)complex (complex numbers)ExamplesHere are some examples of numbers −intlongfloatcomplex1051924361L0.03.14j1051924361L0.03.14j100-0x19323L15.2015.20-7860122L-21.99.322e-36j0800xDEFABCECBDAECBFBAEl32.3+e18876j-0490535633629843L-90.-.6545+0J-0x260-052318172735L-32.54e1003e+26J0x69-4721885298529L70.2-E124.53e-7jPython ...

Python allows you to assign a single value to several variables simultaneously. For example −a = b = c = 1Here, an integer object is created with the value 1, and all three variables are assigned to the same memory location. You can also assign multiple objects to multiple variables. For example −a,b,c = 1,2,"john"Here, two integer objects with values 1 and 2 are assigned to variables a and b respectively, and one string object with the value "john" is assigned to the variable c.

Python accepts single ('), double (") and triple (''' or """) quotes to denote string literals, as long as the same type of quote starts and ends the string.The triple quotes are used to span the string across multiple lines. For example, all the following are legal −word = 'word' sentence = "This is a sentence." paragraph = """This is a paragraph. It is made up of multiple lines and sentences."""

Python provides no braces to indicate blocks of code for class and function definitions or flow control. Blocks of code are denoted by line indentation, which is rigidly enforced.The number of spaces in the indentation is variable, but all statements within the block must be indented the same amount. For example −if True: print "True" else: print "False"However, the following block generates an error −if True: print "Answer" print "True" else: print "Answer" print "False"Thus, in Python all the continuous lines indented with same number of spaces would form a block. The following example has various statement blocks −Note − ... Read More

Python is a case sensitive programming language. Thus, Manpower and manpower are two different identifiers in Python.Here are naming conventions for Python identifiers −Class names start with an uppercase letter.
