"""Python types"""

# every object in python has a type:

# an integer is of type 'int'
print type(17)

# "hello" is a string:
print type("hello")

# floating point numbers are of type 'float':
print type(3.2)

# although it can be interpreted as a number "17" is a string:

print type("17")

#Double quoted strings can contain single quotes in them:

print "Bruce's beard"

# single quoted strings can have double quotes in them:

print 'The knights who say "Ni!"'
