Number

An number is a generic numeric type that often encompasses multiple more specific numeric types, like integers and floating-point numbers.

Examples

• JavaScript's number is a double-precision 64 bit floating point format (IEEE 754).
• Kotlin has the following types to represent numbers: Byte, Short, Int and Long, both signed and unsigned. These types can be inferred dynamically, or declared explicitly. Additionally it supports Float and Double for floating point numbers.
