Core Python
Numeric Types, Dates, and Times
Python’s basic numeric types, int and float, are generally intuitive and are often sufficient for most programming tasks. There are some calculations, however, for which these types aren’t the right tool, and numeric types with different qualities are called for. In this course, Core Python: Numeric Types, Dates, and Times, you’ll take a look at some of the other numeric types that Python provides. First, you’ll look at the Decimal, Fraction, and complex types, and you'll discover when they should be used and how to use them. Next you’ll review some functions that can be used with many or all numeric types. Then you’ll see how to work with dates and times using Python’s datetime package. Finally, you’ll learn about a practical example where using the right numeric type makes a big difference. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have a better understanding of how to apply Python’s standard numeric types and perhaps a deeper appreciation for numerical programming in general.
