WHAT ARE THE NUMERIC TYPES IN PYTHON

Python uses following three types of numeric data types. type() function in Python is used to get data type of object.

Data Type	Examples	Output	Description
int	x=1 print(type(x))	<class ‘int’>	Int, or integer, is a whole number, positive or negative, without decimals, of unlimited length.
float	x = 3.5 print(type(x))	<class ‘float’>	floating point number is a number, positive or negative, containing one or more decimals.
complex	x = 1j print(type(x))	<class ‘complex’>	Complex numbers are written with a “j” as the imaginary part.

NUMERIC DATA TYPES

We can convert from one type to another with the int(), float(), and complex() functions as shown below:

int to float conversion in Python

x=1
a=float(x)
print(a)
print(type(a))

int to float conversion in Python

Output

1.0

a=int(x)
print(a)
print(type(a))

float to int conversion in Python

Output

3
<class ‘int’>

int to complex conversion in Python

x=1
a=complex(x)
print(a)
print(type(a))

int to complex conversion in Python

Output

(1+0j)
<class ‘complex’>

Python uses a built-in module called random that can be used to make random numbers as shown below:

Example of Random Number generation in Python

import random
print(random.randrange(1, 5))

import random will import random module.

random.randrange(1, 5) function will generate random number between 1 and 4.

Output will be any random number-
