Python Tutorial | Numeric Types

In Python, "numeric types" are data types used to represent and manipulate numerical values. The main numeric types are:

1. **Integers (`int`)**: Whole numbers, positive or negative, without a fractional component (e.g., -10, 0, 42).

2. **Floating-Point Numbers (`float`)**: Numbers that include a decimal point, used to represent real numbers (e.g., 3.14, -0.001, 2.0).

3. **Complex Numbers (`complex`)**: Numbers with a real part and an imaginary part, written in the form `a + bj`, where `a` is the real part, and `b` is the imaginary part (e.g., 3 + 4j).

Each type supports arithmetic operations and various methods for numerical computations.
