Normal integers are up to 10 digits, after which they become long
integers, right ?
But if integers can be exactly represented, then why do they need two
types of integers (long and ... uhmm, let's say, normal). I mean,
their error will always be zero, no matter what
I think you are looking for this:

Longs are essentially unbounded integers. You can

Hello Steven,
thanks for answering on such short notice,
Floats in Python don't have infinite precision.
Ints (or longs) can have infinite precision. Try calculating (say)
