Data Types in Python
Integer Numbers
You might be accustomed to specifying numbers in ways such as:1,000,000
(with commas) or1 000 000
(with spaces);
however, Python will not understand this.😢 These formats are understandable for a person but not for a computer, so the right way is 1000000
without commas or spaces.
Task
Here is the distance from the sun to the Earth in miles: var1 = 91,400,000
. And here is the distance from the Earth to the moon: var2 = 238 855
. You need to adjust these number formats to be compatible with Python.
- Rewrite the values of these two distances so they are recognizable by Python.
- Output these variables by including their names in
print
function calls.
Note
If you have a strong desire to use separators, Python understands the following syntax:
var = 1_000_000
.
Everything was clear?
