Welcome to the lesson on Python Casting

Specify a Variable Type

There may be times when you want to specify a type on to a variable.

This can be done with casting.

Casting

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
