When you start coding, it's important to know about data types. Data types tell the computer what kind of information you're using. Let’s take a look at three common data types: integers, strings, and booleans.

1. Integers:

   • Integers are whole numbers.
   • They can be positive or negative, like 5, -3, or 42.
   • You can do math with integers! Here are some examples:
     • Addition: 5 + 3 = 8
     • Subtraction: 10 - 4 = 6
   • In coding, you might set an integer variable like this:

     age = 13
     

2. Strings:

   • Strings are groups of characters—these can be letters, words, or sentences.
   • Strings are surrounded by quotes. For example:

     name = "Alice"
     

   • You can mix strings together using the plus sign:

     greeting = "Hello, " + name
     # Result: "Hello, Alice"
     

3. Booleans:

   • Booleans are simple values that can either be true or false.
   • They are very important for making choices in your code.
   • For example, you might create a boolean variable to check if someone is a teenager:

     is_teenager = age >= 13 and age <= 19
     

   • This will be true if the age is between 13 and 19.

Knowing these data types helps you store and work with information in your programs better!
