Numbers
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 numberint- represents an integer/whole numbercomplex- represents a complex number
We wonβt 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))
