     4 *Hello and welcome to this tutorial on Basic Python using Python.

     5 

     6 This tutorial formally introduces Python as a language . Through this tutorial we will be able to understand Basic Data types like number , Boolean and strings .Some basic operators , simple input/output and basic conditional flow . 

     7 

     8 In numbers Python supports three kinds of data types ,

     9 

    10 floats,integers and complex numbers

    11 

    12 An integer can be defined as follows :

    13 a=13

    14 

    15 This make a an integer variable with value 13 .

    16 

    17 You can also type 9 around 20 times 

    18 

    19 a=99999999999999999999999 . as you can see Python does not have a limit on how long an integer has to be . Isn't that great . 

    20 

    21 Now will try a float.

    22 

    23 let's type 

    24 p=3.141592  if you type out p now you will notice that it is not absolutely equal to p you typed in . The reason for that is how a computer saves decimal values . 

    25 

    26 Apart from integer and float, Python has an in-built support for complex numbers. Now we try to assign a complex value to a variable .

    27 Type:

    28 c = 3+4j

    29 As you can see ,the notation for complex numbers is similar to the one used in electric engineering. 

    30 We will now try some operations on complex numbers . First we will try to get the absolute value of the complex number . For this we will use the abs built in function . For this do :

    31 abs in parenthesis c . 

    32 

    33 Do get the imaginary part of c you can do :

    34 

    35 c.imag

    36 

    37 and similarly for real part do :

    38 

    39 c.real

    40 

    41 Python also has Boolean as a built-in type .

    42 

    43 Try it out just type ..

    44  t=True , note that T in true is capitalized .
