For example:

Gives, on my system:

<class 'int'> 1
<class 'float'> 2.220446049250313e-16
<class 'numpy.longdouble'> 2.220446049250313e-16

On my system, NumPy's longdouble data type is just a regular double-precision floating point number. On other systems, this could be a 96-bit or 128-bit quantity instead, giving higher precision.
