information under a given label or name. \n","\n","When naming variables, there
exist certain rules we should follow:\n","* Variable names cannot start with a
number\n","* Variable names cannot contain spaces. Use $\\_$ instead\n","* Avoid

primitive data types are the following:\n","\n","* **Integers**. Numbers without a

**Strings**. They are sequences of characters. Strings are immutable. When using
strings, bracket operators cannot be used on the left side of an assignment with
the intention of changing that string.\n","* **Booleans**. They take one of two
possible values (_True_ and _False_), they represent the result of comparisons"]},
