# Number

```ruby
# Integers
say factorial(30)              #=> 265252859812191058636308480000000
say fibonacci(164)             #=> 8404037832974134882743767626780173

# Floating-point numbers
say sqrt(Num.pi)               #=> 1.7724538509055160272981674833[...]
say exp(1234)                  #=> 8.3059759373617942182585212913[...]e535

# Rational numbers
var x = 2/3
say x*3                        #=> 2
say 2/x                        #=> 3
say x.as_frac                  #=> 2/3

# Complex numbers
say Complex(3, 4)              #=> 3+4i
say 3+4.i                      #=> 3+4i
say sqrt(-4)                   #=> 2i
say log(-1)                    #=> 3.1415926535897932384626433832[...]i
```

The `Number` type (also aliased as `Num`) represents any Number object (including complex numbers):

```ruby
say 42.kind_of(Number)          #=> true
say sqrt(-1).kind_of(Number)    #=> true
```

Additionally, the `Number` class can be used for constructing new Number objects:

```ruby
Number("1234.52")         # set decimal number
Number("10110111", 2)     # set binary number
Number("deadbeef", 16)    # set hexadecimal number
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://trizen.gitbook.io/sidef-lang/syntax_and_semantics/literals/number.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
