+# Basics of Python
+This page contains important fundamental concepts used in Python such as syntax, operators, order or precedence and more.
+
+## Syntax
+In python *indentations* or the space at the start of each line, signifies a block of code. This becomes important when we start working with function and loops.
+
+## Operators
+### Arithmetic operators
+| Operator | Name           |
+| ---      | ---            |
+| +        | Addition       |
+| -        | Subtraction    |
+| *        | Multiplication |
+| /        | Division       |
+| %        | Modulus        |
+| **       | Exponentiation |
+| //       | Floor division |
+
+
+### Comparison operators
+| Operator | Name                     |
+| ---      | ---                      |
+| ==       | Equal                    |
+| !=       | Not equal                |
+| >        | Greater than             |
+| <        | Less than                |
+| >=       | Greater than or equal to |
+| <=       | Less than or equal to    |
+
+### Logical operators
+| Operator | Descrription                                           |
+| ---      | ---                                                    |
+| and      | Returns True if both statemetns are true               |
+| or       | Returns True if one of the statements is true          |
+| not      | Reerse the result, returns False if the result is true |
+
+### Identity operators
+| Operator | Description                                            |
+| ---      | ---                                                    |
+| is       | Returns True if both variables are the same object     |
+| is not   | Returns True if both variables are not the same object |
+
+## Order of Operation
+| Operator | Description                                           |
+| ---      | ---                                                   |
+| ()       | Parentheses                                           |
+| **       | Exponentiation                                        |
+| * / // % | Multiplication, Division, floor division, and modulus |
+| &        | AND                                                   |
+| ^        | XOR                                                   |
+| \|       | OR                                                    |
+| ==       | Comparision, identity and membership operators        |
+| not      | logical NOT                                           |
+| and      | AND                                                   |
+| or       | OR                                                    |

+## Comments
+Comments can be added to your code using the hash operator (#). Any text behind the comment operator till the end of the line will be rendered as a comment.
+
+## Data types
+Data types are different ways a computer stores data. Other data types use fewer bits than others allowing you to better utilize your computer memory. This is important for engineers because
+The most common data types that an engineer encounters in python are numeric types.
+- 'int' - integer
+- 'float' - a decimal number
+- 'complex' - imaginary number
+
+
+The comprehensive table below show all built-in data types available in python.
+
+
+
+| Category   | Data Type                    |
+| ---------- | -------------------------    |
+| Text       | int, float, complex          |
+| Sequance   | list, tuple, range           |
+| Mapping    | dict                         |
+| Set        | set, frozenset               |
+| Boolean    | bytes, bytearray, memoryview |
+| Binary     | bytes, bytearray, memoryview |
+| None       | NoneType                     |
