Literals

Literals are data items that have a fixed value. 

Python has the following 4 literals:

1. String literals : the text enclosed in quotes  (single or double) is considered to be a string  literal.

Examples:

• • “abc”
  • ‘d’
  • “123start”

2. Numeric literals: Numeric literals can be of type int, float or complex.

Examples:

• 10
• 3.1497
• 2+3i

3. Boolean literals: It represents one of  the two Boolean values.

Examples:

• • True
  • False

  4. Special literals: None is a special literal that  indicates absence of a value and is generally  used to indicate end of lists in python. It  means that there is no useful information.
