python cast data type code example

Example 1: how to convert types of variablesin python

int(anyData) #any into integer
str(anyData) #any into string
ord(chr) #character into number
hex(int) #integer into hexadecimal string
oct(int) #integer into octal string
float(anyData) #any into float
tuple() #convert to tuple
set() #returns the type after converting to set
list() #convert any data type to a list
dict() #convert a tuple of order (key,value) into a dictionary
complex(real,imag) #converts real numbers to complex(real,imag) number

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: how to tyoecast in python

example = 1.3234325
print(type(example))

Example 4: 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)
