# Numbers in Python

|
## Distinguishing `int` and `float`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- In Python we have floats and integers and we can coerce one into the other
|
||
|
|
- A `//` as an operator means float division. This obviously provides greater precision than int division `/`.
|
||
|
|
- There is no increment (`++`) or decrement (`--`) operator in Python
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
# Integers and floats
|
||
|
|
count = 1
|
||
|
|
print(count)
|
||
|
|
# 1
|
||
|
|
print(type(count))
|
||
|
|
# <class 'int'>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
exchange_rate = 1.83
|
||
|
|
print(exchange_rate)
|
||
|
|
# 1.83
|
||
|
|
print(type(exchange_rate))
|
||
|
|
# <class 'float'>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
print(float(count))
|
||
|
|
# 1.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
print(int(exchange_rate))
|
||
|
|
# 1
|
||
|
|
```
