Python Casting
Specify a Variable Type
There may be times when you want to specify a type for a variable. This can be done with casting. Python is an object-oriented language, and as such, it uses classes to define data types, including its primitive types.
Casting in Python is therefore done using constructor functions:
int()- constructs an integer number from an integer literal, a float literal (by removing all decimals), or a string literal (providing the string represents a whole number).float()- constructs a float number from an integer literal, a float literal, or a string literal (providing the string represents a float or an integer).str()- constructs a string from a wide variety of data types, including strings, integer literals, and float literals.
Example:
