"We start with the \"simple\" ones: Numeric types in this chapter and textual data in [Chapter 6 <img height=\"12\" style=\"display: inline-block\" src=\"static/link_to_nb.png\">](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/webartifex/intro-to-python/blob/master/06_text_00_content.ipynb). An important fact that holds for all objects of these types is that they are **immutable**. To reuse the bag analogy from [Chapter 1 <img height=\"12\" style=\"display: inline-block\" src=\"static/link_to_nb.png\">](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/webartifex/intro-to-python/blob/master/01_elements_00_content.ipynb#Objects-vs.-Types-vs.-Values), this means that the $0$s and $1$s making up an object's *value* cannot be changed once the bag is created in memory, implying that any operation with or method on the object creates a *new* object in a *different* memory location.\n",

Finally, Chapter 10 completes the picture by introducing language constructs to create custom types.\n",
