Exercise 1 - Working with Primitive Data Types in Python

Python is an interactive, object-oriented, high-level, and user-friendly programming language. The Integrated Development Environment (IDE) of Python is called IDLE. There are two modes in IDLE - interactive and script. The Python Shell window is the interactive mode, and the Editor window is the script mode.

In this exercise, you will write and execute Python programs, using variables of primitive data types, in both script and interactive mode.
