9. Numbers (int, float, complex)

๐Ÿ Python 3.12+ ๐ŸŸข Lesson 9 of 28 ๐Ÿ“‚ Phase 1: Python Basics ๐Ÿ“… 2026 Edition
Numeric data types: arbitrary precision integers, floating-point precision, complex numbers, arithmetic operators, and math module. In this interactive tutorial, you will explore conceptual principles, memory models, best practices, executable code samples, and common pitfalls to avoid.
1 Overview & Core Concepts

Numeric data types: arbitrary precision integers, floating-point precision, complex numbers, arithmetic operators, and math module. Python offers clean syntax and powerful built-in abstractions that streamline software development across web, machine learning, and automation workflows.

2 Executable Code Example
# Numbers: int, float, complex
a = 25
b = 4
print("Addition (+):", a + b)
print("Floor Division (//):", a // b)
print("Modulus (%):", a % b)
print("Power (**):", a ** 2)
โš ๏ธ Key Best Practice & Common Pitfalls

Always write clean, PEP 8 compliant code with descriptive variable names and consistent 4-space indentation. Test your code in the online sandbox above before deploying to production.
