bookNumbers

In the previous chapters, you operated with numbers. There are many variants of number classifications in math (negative/positive, rational/irrational, etc.). How does Python distinguish between numbers? There are three numerical types in Python:

  • float - represents a floating-point number
  • int - represents an integer/whole number
  • complex - represents a complex number

We won’t focus too much on complex numbers, since this is a branch of Further Mathematics. To get the type of a certain value/variable, use the type() function. For example, let's output the types of the numbers 5 and 10.5.


              
123456

            
# Creating the variables
number1 = 5
number2 = 10.5
# Output the types of numbers
print(type(number1))
print(type(number2))
