Core Python 3: The Numeric Tower, Conversion, and Operators
This course will teach you about the numbers that are available in Python and how to implement math operators on your own classes.
What you'll learn
There are many reasons that you would need to use numbers or complex math in a software development scenario. For example, Python can be used to:
- Quickly count currency
- Calculate camera aperture
- Create fractals
First, you’ll explore the built-in number types.
Next, you’ll discover how the operators work.
Finally, you’ll learn how to implement operators on your objects.
When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of numbers and protocols needed to leverage operators and custom classes.
