A Python Script That Demonstrates int and float literals and how to get the type of any value.

"""
Script version: Python 3 (may not work in Python 2)

This script demonstrates setting a variable to an int and to a float.
A float is sometimes called a "real" and an int is also known as a
"whole number".

The point of this demo:

1. Without a decimal point, 10 is an int
2. With a decimal point, 10.0 is a float (aka real)
3. Every variable has both a type and a value
4. You can see the type of any variable by using the function called "type()"
"""

# x as an int
# set x to 10
x = 10
# print the type of x (should be an int)
print("type(x) %s" % type(x))

# y as a float
# set y to 10.0 
y = 10.0
# print the type of y (should be float)
print("type(y) %s" % type(y))
