In this video, I explain how we can classify concrete data types (e.g., int's and float's) into abstract ones (e.g., numbers). That is helpful as it teaches us to think of an object's behavior naturally, which is useful when breaking down a big problem into small steps to solve it. Also, knowing the abstract data types enables us to understand Python's comprehensive documentation a lot better as many function parameters, for example, go by the name of an abstract data type.
