title: What is the data type of (1) in python?
body: <pre><code>a = (1)
  b = ('y')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output of <code>type(a)</code> is <code>int</code>, isn't it supposed to be a <code>tuple</code>? Similarly, <code>type(b)</code> is <code>str</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How does this make it an <code>int</code> or <code>str</code> or <code>float</code> etc for the single value inside the round brackets?</p>
