How To Convert A String To A Number In Python?

[adisharma]

Hello Everyone,

 

I am confused about convert string to a number. Can anyone check this code is it right? Any suggest which is the best way to learn python in depth. 

 

print int("1") + 1

The above prints 2.

In general:

eval() will turn a string into a non-string: real, integer, object, etc.

repr() will turn a non-string into a string

 

As you noticed in your example you can also be specific about how you're converting a string, but I find eval() usually does the trick.

Here is the simple code which you need to follow: 

 

s = "1234"
i = int(s)
print i+1

Just to be picky: that is print from Python 2. In Python 3 you need parentheses:

print(int("1") + 1)

 

As for tutorials, I would start with the official one of the Python documentation (here the Python 3.5 version, as VW uses Python 3.5.2): https://docs.python.org/3.5/tutorial/index.html

ast.literal_eval(node_or_string)

 

You can convert a Python string to an int by using ast.literal_eval() . This can be used for safely evaluating strings containing Python values from untrusted sources without the need to parse the values oneself. It is not capable of evaluating arbitrarily complex expressions , for example involving operators or indexing.

 

import ast

ast.literal_eval("111")

 

return  111
