Working with Numbers in Python

1. Introduction

Discussing integers and floating-point numbers.

2. Recap

Numbers in Python: Integers (whole numbers) and Floats (with decimals).

3. Math Operators

Work as expected.

Combining integers with float results in a float.

4. Understanding Data Types

Use the type() function to determine the type of data.

Example: print(type(1)) outputs integer; print(type(1.1)) outputs float.

5. Conversion Between Data Types

Automatic conversions in arithmetic.

Example: 1 + 1.1 results in 2.1 (a float).

Division always results in a float.

Python's flexibility simplifies data type handling.

6. Converting Integers to Floats

Use the float() function.

Example: float(2) results in 2.0 .

7. Converting Floats to Integers

Use the int() function (truncates decimals).

Example: int(5.9) results in 5 .

Rounding: Use round() to round numbers.

Example: round(5.9) results in 6 .

8. Precision with Floating Point Numbers

Numbers 1
Floating point arithmetic might introduce minor errors.

Example: 1.1 * 3 might not result in an exact 3.3 .

While minor, it's essential to be aware of this behavior.

Prefer integers for precise arithmetic when possible.

Exercises - Data Types & Numbers


Exercise 1: Data Type Identification
Given the following values, identify their data type:

1. "Hello, World!"

2. 12345

3. 98.76

4. True

5. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

6. {"name": "John", "age": 30}

Exercise 2: Arithmetic Operations


Perform the following arithmetic operations and identify the result's data type:

1. 7+2.57+2.5

2. 8/28/2

3. 3×4.03×4.0

4. 10−4.110−4.1

Exercise 3: Type Conversion


Convert the following data types:

1. Convert the string "12345" to an integer.

2. Convert the integer 456 to a string.

3. Convert the float 78.9 to an integer.

4. Convert the integer 100 to a float.

Exercise 4: Working with Floats

Numbers 2
1. Multiply 0.1 by 3. What is the result? Is this what you expected?

2. Divide 5 by 2. What type of number is the result?

Exercise 5: Complex Data Type Manipulation

1. Given the list: [1,2,3,4,5], add a floating point number 6.7 to it.

[1,2,3,4,5]

2. Given the dictionary: "name":"Alice","age":25, change the age to a float and


increase it by 0.5.
"����":"�����","���":25

Exercise 6: Rounding Numbers

1. Round the number 7.65 to the nearest whole number.

2. Truncate the number 8.99 to remove its decimal part.

Exercise 7: Boolean Evaluation


Which of the following expressions will evaluate to True ?

1. 5.0 == 5

2. "5" == 5

3. 10.1 + 2.9 == 13

4. 3 * 0.1 == 0.3
