    "Python supports integers, floating-point numbers and complex numbers. They are defined as `int`, `float`, and `complex` classes in Python.\n",
    "\n",
    "--------\n",
    "- Integers and floating points are separated by the presence or absence of a decimal point. For instance, 5 is an integer whereas 5.0 is a floating-point number.\n",
    "- Complex numbers are written in the form, x + yj, where x is the real part and y is the imaginary part.\n",
    "- We can use the type() function to know which class a variable or a value belongs to and isinstance() function to check if it belongs to a particular class."
