@ -95,9 +95,12 @@ Here are some things to try to investigate NumPy data types:
- `np.single(2.2) + np.single(1.1) - np.single(3.3)`
- `np.int_(2) ** 10; 2**10`
- `np.int_(2) ** 100; 2**100`
- `np.spacing(3.0)`
```
Note that numpy integers do not behave like python integers! They have a fixed size in bytes (and therefore maximum and minimum values), whereas Python integers are objects that adapt their size to the precision needed.
The last example is one of several functions that NumPy has for dealing with floats --- see https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/routines.math.html
