# Numbers

### Python Numbers

There are three numeric types in Python:

* `int`
* `float`
* `complex`

Variables of numeric types are created when you assign a value to them:

#### Example

#### `x = 1    # int` `y = 2.8  # float` `z = 1j   # complex`<br>

To verify the type of any object in Python, use the `type()` function:

Example

`print(type(x))`\
`print(type(y))`\
`print(type(z))`<br>
