#get input from user in numeric format

The triple quote method is used to comment multiple
lines and can be helpful when you want to provide a bit
more context than what can fit on a single line of text.
Here is an example:

''' This is

and line 3'''

DATA TYPES AND VARIABLES

Data and variables are like the fuel and the fuel tank for a
program. You can insert various types of data into a
variable, and Python supports many types natively.
Python can also be expanded with modules to support
even more variables. A variable is really just a label that
maps to a Python object stored somewhere in memory.
Without variables, your programs would not be able to
easily identify these objects, and your code would be a
mess of memory locations.

Variables

Assigning a variable in Python is very straightforward.
Python auto types a variable, and you can reassign that
same variable to another value of a different type in the
future. (Try doing that in C!) You just need to remember
the rules for variable names:

A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore character.

A variable name cannot start with a number.

A variable name can only consist of alphanumeric characters and

underscores (A–Z, 0–9, and _).

A variable name is case sensitive (so Value and value are two different

variable names).

To assign a variable you just set the variable name equal
to the value you want, as shown in these examples:
