Python Numbers

There are three numeric types in Python:


int
float
complex
Variables of numeric types are created when you assign a value to them

Int
Int, or integer, is a whole number, positive or negative, without decimals, of
unlimited length
Example
In [1]: x = 1
y = 35656222554887711
z = -3255522

print(type(x))
print(type(y))
print(type(z))

<class 'int'>
<class 'int'>
<class 'int'>

Float
Float, or "floating point number" is a number, positive or negative, containing
one or more decimals
Example
In [2]: x = 1.10
y = 1.0
z = -35.59

print(type(x))
print(type(y))
print(type(z))

<class 'float'>
<class 'float'>
<class 'float'>

Float can also be scientific numbers with an "e" to indicate the power of 10
Example
In [3]: x = 35e3
y = 12E4
z = -87.7e100

print(type(x))
print(type(y))
print(type(z))

<class 'float'>
<class 'float'>
<class 'float'>

Complex
Complex numbers are written with a "j" as the imaginary part
Example
In [4]: x = 3+5j
y = 5j
z = -5j

print(type(x))
print(type(y))
print(type(z))

<class 'complex'>
<class 'complex'>
<class 'complex'>

Type Conversion
You can convert from one type to another with the int(), float(), and complex()
methods
Example
Convert from one type to another
In [5]: x = 1 # int
y = 2.8 # float
z = 1j # complex

#convert from int to float:


a = float(x)

#convert from float to int:


b = int(y)

#convert from int to complex:


c = complex(x)

print(a)
print(b)
print(c)
print(type(a))
print(type(b))
print(type(c))

1.0
2
(1+0j)
<class 'float'>
<class 'int'>
<class 'complex'>

Note: You cannot convert complex numbers into another number type

Random Number
Python does not have a random() function to make a random number, but
Python has a built-in module called random that can be used to make random
numbers
Example
Import the random module, and display a random number between 1 and 9
In [6]: import random

print(random.randrange(1, 10))
