A2 Python Numbers

Python – Numbers
 Number data types store numeric values.

 They are immutable data types, means that changing the value of a number data type results in
a newly allocated object.
 Number objects are created when you assign a value to them.
Example:
var1=1
var2=10
 You can also delete the reference to a number object by using the del statement.
Syntax:
del var1[,var2[,var3[………….,varN]]]]
 You can delete a single object or multiple objects by using the del statement.
Example:
del var
del var a,var b
 Python supports four different numerical types ,
 int (signed integers) − They are often called just integers or ints, are positive or
negative whole numbers with no decimal point.
 float (floating point real values) − Also called floats, they represent real numbers and
are written with a decimal point dividing the integer and fractional parts. Floats may
also be in scientific notation, with E or e indicating the power of 10 (2.5e2 = 2.5 x 10 2 =
250).
 complex (complex numbers) − are of the form a + bJ, where a and b are floats and J (or
j) represents the square root of -1 (which is an imaginary number). The real part of the
number is a, and the imaginary part is b. Complex numbers are not used much in
Python programming.
Example:
int float complex

10 0.0 3.14j
100 15.20 45.j
-786 -21.9 9.322e-36j
080 32.3+e18 .876j
-049- -90. -.6545+0J
-0x260 -32.54e100 3e+26J
0x69 70.2-E12 4.53e-7j
 A complex number consists of an ordered pair of real floating point numbers denoted by a + bj,
where a is the real part and b is the imaginary part of the complex number.
Number Type Conversion

Python converts numbers internally in an expression containing mixed types to a common type for
evaluation. But sometimes, you need to coerce a number explicitly from one type to another to satisfy
the requirements of an operator or function parameter.
 Type int(x) to convert x to a plain integer.

 Type float(x) to convert x to a floating-point number.
 Type complex(x) to convert x to a complex number with real part x and imaginary part
zero.
 Type complex(x, y) to convert x and y to a complex number with real part x and
imaginary part y. x and y are numeric expressions
Mathematical Functions
Python includes following functions that perform mathematical calculations.
Sr.No. Function & Returns ( description )
1 abs(x)
The absolute value of x: the (positive) distance between x and zero.
2 fabs(x)
The absolute value of x.
3 exp(x)
The exponential of x: ex
5 ceil(x)
The ceiling of x: the smallest integer not less than x

6 floor(x)
The floor of x: the largest integer not greater than x
7 log(x)
The natural logarithm of x, for x> 0
8 log10(x)
The base-10 logarithm of x for x> 0.
9 max(x1, x2,...)

10 min(x1, x2,...)

11 modf(x)
The fractional and integer parts of x in a two-item tuple. Both parts have the same sign
as x. The integer part is returned as a float.
12 pow(x, y)
The value of x**y.
13 round(x [,n])
x rounded to n digits from the decimal point. Python rounds away from zero as a tie-
breaker: round(0.5) is 1.0 and round(-0.5) is -1.0.
14 sqrt(x)
