Numbers

What Are Python Numbers?

In Python, there are three numeric types:
1. int: Integer, a whole number without decimals.
2. float: Floating point number, a number with decimals.

Creating Numeric Variables:

Variables of numeric types are created when you assign a value to them.
python
```
x = 1    # int
y = 2.8  # float
```

Checking the Type:

Use the type() function to verify the type of any object.
python
```
print(type(x))   
print(type(y)) 
```
- Output: <class 'int'>
- Output: <class 'float'>

Integer:

Integers are whole numbers without decimals, of unlimited length.
python
```
x = 1
y = 35656222554887711
z = -3255522

print(type(x))  
print(type(y))  
print(type(z))  
```
- Output: <class 'int'>
- Output: <class 'int'>
- Output: <class 'int'>

Float:

Floats are numbers with one or more decimals and can also be scientific numbers with an "e" to indicate the power of 10.
python
```
x = 1.10
y = 1.0
z = -35.59

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

x = 35e3
y = 12E4
z = -87.7e100

print(type(x))  
print(type(y))  
print(type(z))  
```
- Output: <class 'float'>
- Output: <class 'float'>
- Output: <class 'float'>
- Output: <class 'float'>
- Output: <class 'float'>
- Output: <class 'float'>

Summary:

Python supports three numeric types: integers, floats, and complex numbers. You can convert between these types and generate random numbers using the random module. Practice creating and working with numeric variables to understand their properties and uses!
