Numbers

Let us start by exploring Python’s built-in data types for numbers. Python was designed by a man with a master’s degree in mathematics and computer science, so it is only logical that it has extensive support for numbers.

Numbers are immutable objects.

Integers

Python integers have an unlimited range, subject only to the available virtual memory. This means that it doesn’t really matter how big the number you want to store is—as long as it can fit in your computer’s memory, Python will take care of it.

Integer numbers can be positive, negative, or 0 (zero). Their type is int. They support all the basic mathematical operations, as shown in the following example:

>>> a = 14
>>> b = 3
>>> a + b  # addition
17
>>> a - b  # subtraction
11
>>> a * b  # multiplication
42
>>> a / b  # true division
4.666666666666667
>>> a // b  # integer division
4
>>> a ...
