    • Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)

    Assume that we execute the following assignment statements:

    width = 17
height = 12.0
delimiter = '.'

    For each of the following expressions, write the value of the expression and the type (of the value of the expression).

    1. width/2
    2. width/2.0
    3. height/3
    4. 1 + 2 * 5
    5. delimiter * 5

    Use the Python interpreter to check your answers.
