02 - Data Types & Conversion

We learn about different data types, including characters, strings, inegers, and floating point numbers. We also cover how to convert between types.

Summary:
- Every value has a type
- Use the built-in function `type` to find the type of a value
- Types control what operations can be done on values
- Strings can be added and multiplied
- Strings have a length (but numbers don't)
- Use the built-in function `len` to find the length of a string
- Use an index to get a single character from a string
- Use a slice to get a substring
- Can mix integers and floats freely in operations
- Must convert numbers to strings or vice versa when operating on them
