Python Numbers

Python Numbers
As we know, programming languages have their prime things – Numbers, Data types, Strings, Variables etc, which play a major role in constructing a program.
When we say Numbers, we mean to say Python programming supports integers, floating point numbers and complex numbers. These are number-based data types that store various types of numeric values. Number objects get generated when programmers assign a value to them. For example:
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python

variable_name1 = 10

variable_name2 = 6.2
These reference to number objects can also be deleted by using del statement. The syntax for “del” statement is:
Syntax:
del variable_name[, variable_name2[….variable_name-N]
In Python the numeric variables are defined as:
  • int
  • float
  • complex
All of them act as a class in Python, where integers and floating point/decimal values are separated based on the presence or absence of decimal point between the values. 6 is an integer whereas 6.2 is a floating point value.

Types of Numerical Data Types

Python provides four distinctive numerical types. These are:
  • signed int: include the range of both positive as well as negative numbers along with whole numbers without decimal point.
  • long int: special type of integers having unlimited size and is written like integer value before the letter L (either uppercase or lowercase).
  • float (real values): They are used with a decimal point to represent real-numbers and that decimal point (dot) is used to divide the integer and the fraction.
  • complex: are complex numbers that take the structure a+bJ where a and bare floating point numbers and that ‘J‘ represent the square root of -1 (imaginary number).

Type Conversion (Casting)

Python has the capability and feature to convert within an expression containing the mixture of different types of values internally.
  • int(v): is used to convert any value ‘v’ to plain integer
  • long(v): is used convert a value ‘v’ to long integer
  • float(v): is used convert a value ‘v’ to floating point value
  • complex(v): is used convert a value ‘v’ to complex number having real part ‘v’ and imaginary part as 0
  • complex(u,v): is used convert values u and v to complex number with real part ‘u’ and imaginary part ‘v’
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python

x = 10.5
y = 5

#without type cast
print (x + y) 

#after type cast
print (int(x) + y)
Output:
15.5
15
In the above example shows how float converted to integer.

Java Method Overriding

Java Method Overriding Declaring a method in the subclass which already exists there in the parent class is known as method overriding. When a class is inheriting a method from a superclass of its own, then there is an option of overriding the method provided it is not declared as final. The advantage of using overriding is the ability to classify a behavior that’s specific to the child class and the child class can implement a parent class method based on its necessity. There are certain rules that a programmer should follow in order to implement overriding. These are: In Java, a method can only be written in the child class and not in same class. Argument list should be exactly the same as that of the overridden method of that class. Instance methods can also be overridden if they are inherited by the child class. A constructor cannot be overridden. Final – declared methods cannot be overridden. Any method that is static cannot be used to override. The return type must have to be the...

C++ Data Abstraction

C++ Data Abstraction Object oriented programming offers various features to write programs with various concepts that help to minimize problems and increase flexibility in program. One of the features of object oriented programming is Data abstraction. In this chapter you will learn about how the concept data abstraction is carried out within the C++ program. What is Data abstraction? Data abstraction allows a program to ignore the details of how a data type is represented. Abstraction (derived from a Latin word  abs , meaning away from and  trahere , meaning to draw) refers to the act of representing essential features without including the background details or explanations. C++ classes use the technique of abstraction and are defined as a list of abstract attributes such as width, cost, size etc and functions to operate on these attributes. They put in a nutshell all the essential properties of an object that are required to be created. The attributes are therefore called...
