Working with Numbers in Python
In Python, there are two primary data types for handling numerical data: integers (int) and floating-point numbers (float).
Integer Type
Integers are numbers without decimal points, such as -2, 0, 10.
In Python, integers are represented as int.
Integer Example
age = 25
initial_value = 0
print(type(age)) # <class 'int'>
Floating-Point Type
Floating-point numbers are numbers with decimal points, like 3.14, -2.1.
In Python, float data types are represented as float.
Float Example
temperature = 36.5
price = 19.99
print(type(temperature)) # <class 'float'>
When you add an integer and a float, the result is returned as a float.
Adding Integer and Float
result = 10 + 3.5
print(result) # 13.5
print(type(result)) # <class 'float'>
