Numbers

There are three numeric types in Unv:

  • int
  • float(= number)
  • complex

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

x =  1 # int  
y =  2.8 # float

Int​

Int, or integer, is a whole number, positive or negative, without decimals, of unlimited length.

Integers:

x =  1  
y =  35656222554887711  
z =  -3255522

Float/Number​

Float, or "floating point number" is a number, positive or negative, containing one or more decimals.

Floats:

x =  1.10  
y =  1.0  
z = -35.59

Float can also be scientific numbers with an "e" to indicate the power of 10.

Floats:

x =  35e3  
y =  12E4  
z = -87.7e100

Type Conversion​

You can convert from one type to another with the int() and float()(=number()) methods:

Convert from one type to another:

x =  1 # int  
y =  2.8 # float  
z = 1j # complex  
  
#convert from int to float:  
a =  float(x)  
#convert from int to number:  
b =  number(x)  

#convert from float to int:  
c =  int(y)  

print(a)  
print(b)  
print(c)

Note: You cannot convert complex numbers into another number type.

Random Number​

Unv does not have a random() function to make a random number, but Unv has a built-in module called random that can be used to make random numbers:

Import the random module, and display a random number:

import random from "@std/random"

print(random())
