Introduction to Python Number

Python number one of the type from Python data type. Python number are used to store numeric values like 1,2,1.2 etc. In this post we will study about Python number, example and various types of number in python. In Python following type of numeric types can be used.

 

 

Types of Python number

 

Python integer number

In Python we can use integer numbers. Integer number like 1, 2 3 etc. are python int numbers.

 

Python integer number example

age=12

# it will show value of age variable

print(age)

#it will show the type of age variable

print(type(age))

 

Output

 

12

<class 'int'>

 

Explanation:  Here age is Python variable to store the numeric value.

 

Python int can have negative values as well. See below example

Example

 

credit=-5000

# it will show value of credit variable

print(credit)

#it will show the type of credit variable

print(type(credit))

Output

-5000
<class 'int'>

 

Now one question came, what is the maximum possible value of an integer in Python?

In Python 3, there is no limit of python integer, it could be as long. You can try it yourself.

 

Python float number

Python can deal with decimal number also like 1.5, 2.9 etc. As like python integer, Python float can deal with both negative and positive values.

 

Python float number example

 

price=25.50

debt=-90.77

# it will show value of price

print(price)

print(debt)


#it will show the type of price

print("type of price is",type(price))

print("type of debt is",type(debt))

Output

 

25.5

-90.77

type of price is <class 'float'>

type of debt is <class 'float'>

 

 

Python complex number

Python can have complex numbers also, e.g. 1+2j. a complex numbers are a combination of real and imaginary numbers. In Python, j is considered an imaginary number.

 

Example of Python complex number

 

x=1+2j

y=-2j-1

# it will show value of x,y

print(x)

print(y)


#it will show the type of x,y

print("type of price is",type(x))

print("type of debt is",type(y))

Output

 

(1+2j)

(-1-2j)

type of price is <class 'complex'>

type of debt is <class 'complex'>

 

So we study about Python number and their types with example.
