It's official! The Socratica Python Kickstarter was a success! Thank you to all of our supporters. Because of you, many more Python videos coming soon!! 💜🦉

*Arithmetic in Python V2*

Hello, everyone!  We released another Python Tutorial today.  In this video we cover the details of arithmetic in Python V2.  We talk about what it means for for one number to be a *narrower* or *wider* type than another.  We also cover *integer division*, since it behaves a bit differently.

Arithmetic is more straightforward in Python V3, so we'll cover that in a separate video.

I wish they had videos like this for visual basic back in the day

Calculators will collapse into itself when dividing by zero!

wow this the best classes ever, thanks and I'm already stuck here, can go nowhere lol

[AlchemistOfNirnroot]

Is it possible to make video games with python? Or does it not support visuals?

[matthewgiem]

@Soratica maybe use the term Rations instead of Reals @2:43 as I do not believe that python can represent a Real number only an approximate thereof or its Rational equivalent.
thanks for the amazing content!

I am watching in 2018. Now, by default division is "float", e.g. 16/5 = 3.2
this is in python 3.6.2, 2017

Why doesn't Python have small number types like bytes. Aren't those number types easier on the processor/memory when doing a lot of small number calculations under 255? I've made a habit of doing that in Java.

[rubic]

why not use the shell that comes with instead of the "dos"window?

[PunmasterSTP]

When it comes to the differences between number types in Python v2, my eyes are now wide open...

This video published 6 years ago and question is, all this tutorial still valid to learn or this resources already got old enough to not to learn?

I have python 3.7.0 and when I type b = 3L I get a syntax error. Fully updated BTW.

Every year from now until 2020! Well, for the next 6 months. :(

Your division example is wrong.
Python2.x rounds to the left, it does not produce the quotient.
-5/2 = -3 compared to 5/2 = 2. It is massively stupid....
Get around this by starting the code with "from __future__ import division"

[sheikhabdullah]

Nothing special about dividing int by int, thats what most c++ based languages follow
