By constraining possible values, data types allow interpreters and/or compilers to efficiently use certain data in the manner that a programmer wishes it to be use. As a result, many programming languages support basic data types of integers (no matter the size), floating-point numbers (approximations of real numbers, usually labeled as "float"), characters, and Booleans (a data type used in True/False variables and lines of code). + # PART I a = 5 b = 5.0
