python cast to number code example

Example 1: python string to int

print(int("12"))

Example 2: python data type conversion

equationStrToInt = '8 * 8'
eval(equationStrToInt)
type(equationStrToInt)
print(equationStrToInt)
strToList = 'GREPPER'
list(strToList)
type(strToList)
print(strToList)

Example 3: cast as float python

not_float = '.0975'
is_float  =  .0986

print(not_float)
print(is_float)

# Notice this won't work 
# new_number = not_float + is_float

# This will convert it to a float
new_number = float(not_float) + is_float

print(new_number)
