Question

In Python, how can I parse a numeric string like \"545.2222\" to its corresponding float value, 545.2222? Or parse the string \"31\" t

Answer 1

Use:

>>> str_float = "545.2222"
>>> float(str_float)
545.2222
>>> type(_) # Check its type


>>> str_int = "31"
>>> int(str_int)
31
>>> type(_) # Check its type
