Python Numbers
As we know, mathematical calculations and number conversion is so important part of our life; therefore, Python provides the numeric values to deal numeric datatypes.
Moreover, There are three NumericTypes in _Python_;
- Int
- Float
- complex
Variables, numericTypes are created when you allocate value to them. After the assigning, the variable becomes numericType number.
Example
How to verify?
If you want to check the type of any _Variable_, you can then use the type method or function. Let’s check the example below;
Example
In the first three lines, values are assigned to variables. These are different type of values.
Int
Integer sometime called as int, is a positive or negative whole number with unlimited length without the decimals.
Example
Integers represent positive or negative value. Here below some examples to show the integer numbers.
The above example shows different integers. As we already discuss that integers are positive as well as negative numbers.

Float or FloatingPoint Numbers
Float or “floating-point number” is positive as well as a negative number having one or more decimals. In simple, it represents the point value.
Example
Here below some examples below to show the floating-point numbers.
FloatingPoint numbers;
It can also be scientific numbers with an “e” to show the power of TEN(10).
Example
g = 25e2
h = 22E7
i = -87.7e176
print(type(g)) #printing the type of g
print(type(h)) #printing the type h
print(type(i)) #printing the type of i
Complex datatype
Complex numbers are written with a letter _”j“_ as the imaginary part:
xx = 3+5j
yy = 4j
zz = -9j
print(type(xx))
print(type(yy))
print(type(zz))
let’s execute the short complex datatype code;
Type Conversion
The technique or approach to move on from one data type to another is called typeConversion. You can convert from one type to another by using int(), float(), and complex() functions.
However, Let’s do it with an example to understand better.
Example
Convert from one type to another:
bb = 1 # inttype
yy = 2.8 # floatvalue
zz = 1j # complexvalue
#Now converting values
aa = float(bb)
#convert from float to int:
bb = int(yy)
#convert from int to complex:
cc = complex(zz)
Now you can print one by one to get the converted results. In this way, you can convert any datatype.
NOTE: Keep one thing in mind that you can’t convert complex number to another data type.
Random Number
For printing a random number from any length, there is no function available in Python. But it has the builtin module or library to print the random number. By using this module, we can print any kind of number from the length.
Practice;
Import (random) library & print random number from the length of 1-20;
then import random
after that, print(random.randrange(1, 20))
Example
Every time it will give you a random number while executing the code. This example gives you a random number of 4, and next time it will give you maybe another number range. You can try it by own to enjoy the fun of random numbers.
