Questions to [David Rotermund](mailto:davrot@uni-bremen.de)

## Number is Python

In Python everything is a class. Numbers are classes as well. 

### Integer

```python
a_number = 0​
print(type(a_number))​ # -> <class 'int'>​
```

## FLOATing point number

```python
a_second_number = 3.33​
print(type(a_second_number))​ # -> <class 'float'>​
```

## Conversion (i.e. casts) between types

```python
a_second_number = 3.33​
a_second_number = int(a_second_number)​
print(type(a_second_number))​ # -> <class 'int'>​
```

## [Basic math operations​](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#numeric-types-int-float-complex​)

Order of operations​:
1. Parentheses
2. Exponents
3. Multiplication/Division
4. Addition/Subtraction

|Operator​|Description​|
|---|---|
|x + y​|sum of x and y​|
|x - y​|difference of x and y​|
|x * y​|product of x and y​|
|x / y​|quotient of x and y​|
|x // y​|floored quotient of x and y​|
|x % y​|remainder of x / y​|
|-x​|x negated​|
|+x​|x unchanged​|

|Operator|Description​|
|---|---|
|abs(x)​|absolute value or magnitude of x​|
|int(x)​|x converted to integer​|
|float(x)​|x converted to floating point​|
|complex(re, im)​|a complex number with real part re, imaginary part im. im defaults to zero.​|
|c.conjugate()​|conjugate of the complex number c​|
|divmod(x, y)​|the pair (x // y, x % y)​|
|pow(x, y)​|x to the power y​|
|x ** y​|x to the power y​|


## "True division"

```python
print(5 / 2)​ # -> 2.5
print(6 / 2)​ # -> 3.0
```

## “Floor division”

```python
print(5 // 2)​ # -> 2
print(6 // 2)​ # -> 3
```

## [Boolean Operations — and, or, not​](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#boolean-operations-and-or-not)

|Operation​|Result​|
|---|---|
|x or y​|if x is false, then y, else x​|
|x and y​|if x is false, then x, else y​|
|not x​|if x is false, then True, else False​|

## [Comparisons](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#boolean-operations-and-or-not)

|Operation|Meaning|
|---|---|
|<|strictly less than|
|<=|less than or equal|
|>|strictly greater than|
|>=|greater than or equal|
|==|equal|
|!=|not equal|
|is|object identity|
|is not|negated object identity


## [Bitwise Operations on Integer Types​](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html?highlight=elif#bitwise-operations-on-integer-types​)

|Operation​|Result​|
|---|---|
|x \| y​| bitwise or of x and y​|
|x ^ y​|bitwise exclusive or of x and y​|
|x & y​|bitwise and of x and y​|
|x << n​|x shifted left by n bits​|
|x >> n​|x shifted right by n bits​|
|~x​|the bits of x inverted​|

## [More math operations​ (math lib)](https://docs.python.org/3/library/math.html​)

You need to include the math lib for that! (Only once per .py file and in the beginning of the file)

However, don't get used to it. As a data scientist you will not use it. You will use Numpy. 

```python
import math
print(math.cos(math.pi))​
```
