Native units for Python

Python introduces two new builtins:

• intu — a unit-aware integer (a subclass of int)
• floatu — a unit-aware float (a subclass of float)

Together, these are called u-numbers.
They behave like normal numbers but carry units, and arithmetic automatically respects those units.

Acing a recruitment task? Get ready to be rejected!

I'm done, guys. In April, I sent an application for a Fullstack Python Developer internship at Samsung R&D.
After (allegedly) reviewing my CV, they decided to invite me to a test assessing my technical skills:

Great! I indeed got the e-mail with the invitation link soon after:
