Numbers are everywhere in Python. You'll use two core numeric types most of the time: integers (int) for whole numbers and floating-point numbers (float) for decimals (including scientific notation like 1e-3).

Integer and Float Essentials

  • Integers (int): whole numbers such as -2, 0, 7, 456566. Python supports arbitrarily large integers;
  • Floats (float): decimal values such as 2.5, 3.14159, 2.71828, or scientific notation like 6.02e23;
  • Truthiness: 0 and 0.0 are False, any other int/float is True in boolean contexts.

# Basic numeric literals (no type checks or conversions here)
n_int = 42
n_float = 3.14
n_sci = 1e-3   # 0.001

print(n_int, n_float, n_sci)
copy

Writing Large Numbers Readably

Humans often write 1,000,000 or 1 000 000. Python doesn't allow commas or spaces inside numeric literals, use underscores for readability.

million = 1_000_000
print(million == 1000000)   # True
copy

Floats are stored as binary fractions, tiny rounding differences are normal (e.g., 0.1 + 0.2 may not be exactly 0.3). You'll handle rounding and formatting later.
