Numeric Type -Learning Python

1. Variable doesn't need to be predeclared in Python, but they must have been assigned at least once before you can use them

this means you have to initialize counters to zero before you can add to them, initialize lists to empty list before you can append to them, and so on.

2. For now, when you hear “module,” think “import.”

3. in: this expression is defined to work on all other collection types,like set,dictionaries,list

2. In python, numbers are not really a single object type,but a category of similar types.

1) Integer and float-point object

(floating-point numbers cannot represent some values exactly due to their limited number of bits—a fundamental issue in numeric programming not unique to Python)

2) Complex number object

3) Decimal:fixed-precision objects

4) Fraction:rational number objects

5) sets: collections with numeric operations

6) Booleans: True and False

7) Built-in functions and modules:random,math

8)expressions;unlimited integer precision,bitwise operations,hex,octal and binary formats

9)third party extensions,like vectors,libraries,visulaizaiton,plotting,etc.
