Help, my keyboard is spitting out numbers instead of letters

Pythagorous

For some odd reason, all of a sudden some letters on my keyboard are now showing as numbers, e.g. y brings up 4 (I'm using a different laptop now).Anyone know whats going on?Thanks

Make of laptop with the problem would be a help. You've probably turned on a numberpad hidden under certain letters. You can usually turn it off using the Fn key and some other key but it will probably depend on the make of laptop you are using. Google should give you the answer.
