Today we introduce basic types (integers, floats, booleans, lists, and dictionaries) that allow you to store data.

Time estimation: 1 hour 30 minutes

Learning objectives:

• Explain key differences between integers and floating point numbers.
• Explain key differences between numbers and character strings.
• Use built-in functions to convert between integers, floating point numbers, and strings.
• Explain why programs need collections of values.
• Write programs that create flat lists, index them, slice them, and modify them through assignment and method calls.
