How do I parse a string to a float or int in Python?

You can use in-built function float() or int() to parse a string to a float or int as shown in the below example –

pai = "3.1415926"

f = float(pai)
print(f)
print(type(f))

i = int(f)
print(i)
print(type(i))

## Returns
## 3.1415926
## <class 'float'>
## 3
## <class 'int'>

pai = "3.1415926"

f = float(pai)

print(f)

print(type(f))

i = int(f)

print(i)

print(type(i))

## Returns

## 3.1415926

## 3
