When does Python perform type conversion when comparing int and float?

Question

Why does Python return True when I compare int and float objects which have the same value?

For example:

>&         


        

Answer 1

== 

is a comparison operator

You are actually asking the interpreter if both sides of your expression are equal or not.

In other words you are asking for it to return a Boolean value, not to convert data types. If you want to convert the data types you will have to do so implicitly in your code.
