Numbers in Python

Python works with two main types of numbers:

• Integers (whole numbers): e.g. 5, 42, 1000
• Floats (decimal numbers): e.g. 3.14, 2.0, 99.99

You can assign numbers to variables just like strings:

age = 25
price = 19.99

Basic Math Operations

Python can do standard arithmetic:

• Addition: 5 + 3 → 8
• Subtraction: 10 - 4 → 6
• Multiplication: 6 * 7 → 42
• Division: 20 / 5 → 4.0 (note: division always returns a float)
• Exponents: 2 ** 3 → 8

You can also combine variables in operations:

total = price * 3
print(total) 

Would display 59.97
