Abstract

In this chapter we will explore the different ways that numbers can be represented by the built-in types in Python. We will also introduce the Boolean type used to represent True and False. As part of this discussion we will also look at both numeric and assignment operators in Python. We will conclude by introducing the special value known as None.
