Data Types in Python
Integer Numbers
You might be accustomed to specifying numbers in ways such as:
1,000,000(with commas);1 000 000(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.

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
printfunction calls.
Note
If you have a strong desire to use separators, Python understands the following syntax:
var = 1_000_000.
