It almost looks as if this is a definitional statement or an assignment
statement in which you are assigning the values of 11, 12, and 13 to integer
1, integer 2, and integer 3.

Coincidentally, I am wondering why you left a space after "integer"  I am
guessing that is because integer is a keyword in Python?

BTW, I would like to thank Asheesh for choosing Python as his language to
teach us.  The many references to Monty Python's gags makes me laugh out
loud, which make learning Python much easier.  For example, the lumberjack
example in functions just had me rolling on the floor, as that lumberjack
skit was one of my favs.
