// A server-side ee.Number object.
var numberServer = ee.Number(10.3);

// Use evaluate to transfer server-side number to the client.
numberServer.evaluate(function(numberClient) {
  print('Client-side primitive data type', typeof numberClient);  // number
  print('Client-side number', numberClient);  // 10.3
  print('Client-side number used in expression', numberClient + 10);  // 20.3
});

Python setup

# The Earth Engine Python client library does not have an evaluate method for
# asynchronous evaluation of ee.Number objects.
# Use ee.Number.getInfo() instead.
