Converting list items from string to int(Python)

Apply int on each item in the list and return it as a list:

>>> StudentGrades = ['56', '49', '63']
>>> res = list(map(int, StudentGrades)) # this call works for Python 2.x as well as for 3.x
>>> print res
[56, 49, 63]

Note about map differences in Python 2 and 3

In Python 2.x map returns directly the list, so you may use

>>> res = map(int, StudentGrades)

but in Python 3.x map returns an iterator, so to get real list, it must be wrapped into list call:

>>> res = list(map(int, StudentGrades))

The later way works well in both version of Python

You should do this:

for i in range(len(Student_Grades)):
    Student_Grades[i] = int(Student_Grades[i])

In [7]:

Student_Grades = ['56', '49', '63']
new_list = [int(i) for i in Student_Grades]
print(new_list)
[56, 49, 63]
