[Tutor] largest and smallest numbers

[Christopher Spears]

One of the exercises from Core Python Programmng (2nd
Edition) asks me to determine the largest and smallest
integers, float, and complex numbers my system can
handle.  Using python.org and Google, I have
discovered my system's largest and smallest ingtegers:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.maxint
2147483647
>>> -sys.maxint - 1
-2147483648

How can I find the largest float and complex numbers?
