How python compares a float and an int objects?
How python internally performs the comparison of a float and an integer value? We find this out in this video.
Comparing a float to an int is a fascinating problem, especially for Python. Comparing numbers involve comparing magnitudes across different types; plus things become even more complex considering Python supports infinitely long number.

The Honest Python
The Honest Python is a series in which we dissect certain features, behaviors, and not-so-obvious outputs by diving deeper into the CPython source code and if possible altering it to get a much clearer understanding.
Arpit's System Design Masterclass
I teach an 8-week cohort-based course on System Design - a masterclass that helps you become great at designing systems that are scalable, fault-tolerant, and highly available.
The program will have a blend of Live Classes happening on Weekends, 1:1 Mentorship sessions happening on weekdays, assignments and, group projects. The program is designed to be intense and crisp so as to accelerate the overall learning.
You can find more details about the program at https://arpitbhayani.me/masterclass
