Ranges of Data Types in Python
Ranges of Data Types :
Data types are the classification of data items. It represents that kind of value which tells what operations can be performed on a particular data type. Everything is an object in Python programming, data types are actually classes and variables are instance of these classes.
Ranges of Data Types :
In python , value of an integer/float is not fixed and it can be as large as possible until our memory has some space to accomodate it. So we never need any special keyword for large integer or float like c/c++ have.
Platform-dependent, typically 32 or 64 bits, allowing values from approximately -2^31 to 2^31-1 or -2^63 to 2^63-1.
Hence python 3 has only integer and float , but in python 2.7 there was two types :
- integer int
- Long int
Code 1:
Here , we will write a program in Python to understand ranges of data types for better understanding.
#python Program
#Range on data type
x=99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
print('X is = ' , x)
y=0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
print('Y is = ' , y)
Output :
X is = 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
Y is = 1e-69
In the code, x is integer (int) and y is long integer (long int).
