Python Number

In this tutorial, you will learn about Python numbers. Python has a number datatype that has numeric values. Python supports various types of numbers:

1. Integers (int)

Python has an Integer data type, which has whole numbers, positive or negative numbers.

Note: The Number should not have any fractional part.

Example

x = 20  # Integer
y = -10  # Negative integer

2. Floating-point numbers (float)

Floating-point numbers mean numbers have decimal points or numbers have exponential notation.

Example:

x = 20.5  # Floating-point number
y = -5.7  # Negative float
z = 3.5e2  # 3.5 * 10^2 (Exponential notation, equivalent to 350.0)

3. Complex numbers (complex)

These numbers are written in the form a + bj, where a is the real part, and b is the imaginary part.

Example:

x = 3 + 4j  # Complex number
y = 2j  # Pure imaginary number

Type conversion between numbers

You can convert between different number types using the int(), float(), and complex() functions.

Example:

x = 5      # Integer
y = float(x)  # Converts x to 5.0 (float)

z = 3.6
w = int(z)  # Converts z to 3 (integer, truncating the decimal part)

c = complex(x, y)  # Converts to complex number (5+5.0j)
