There are three numeric types in Python:
Variables of numeric types are created when you assign a value to them:
Example-
x = 1 ---- int
y = 2.8 ---- float
z = 1j ---- complex
To verify the type of any object in Python, use the type() function:
Example-
print(type(x))
print(type(y))
print(type(z))
Int, or integer, is a whole number, positive or negative, without decimals, of unlimited length.
Example-
integers
x = 1
y = 35656222554887711
z = -3255522
print(type(x))
print(type(y))
print(type(z))
Float, or "floating point number" is a number, positive or negative, containing one or more decimals.
Example-
Float
x = 1.10
y = 1.0
z = -35.59
print(type(x))
print(type(y))
print(type(z))
Complex numbers are written with a "j" as the imaginary part:
Example-
Complex:
x = 3+5j
y = 5j
z = -5j
print(type(x))
print(type(y))
print(type(z))
