Can somebody provide your reason for the below statement? 2==2.0 returns true. Why it is returning true?

Question

2==2.0 returns true. Somebody describe how this could be true.
type(2) returns int class
type(2.0) returns float class

V3.7 Python interpreter

Answer 1

It checks the value. not the type; the statement checks if 2 equals 2, not if an int equals a float.

EDIT: a further example, you could check if they are both the same type this way:
if type(2.0) == type(2):
print("True")
else:
print("False")
