This page provides syntax for using numbers and mathematic operations in Python. Each section includes an example to demonstrate the described syntax and operations.
Types of Numbers
Integer (positive and negative counting number) - e.g., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3:
int - holds signed integers of non-limited length
long - holds long integers (exists in Python 2.X, depreciated in Python 3.X)
Float (real or floating point numbers) - e.g., -2.14, 0.0, and 3.777
float
Boolean: (0 = False and 1 = True)
bool
Use type() function to determine type
Input:
# Define two variables x and yx =100y =3.14# Print out the variable types for eachprint(type(x))print(type(y))
