Type Conversion

String Slicing

Obtaining a part of a string is called string slicing.

Code
PYTHON

1 variable_name[start_index:end_index]

Start from the start_index and stops at end_index

end_index is not included in the slice.

Code
PYTHON

1 message = "Hi Ravi"

Output

Ravi

Slicing to End

If end index is not specified, slicing stops at the end of the string.

Code
PYTHON

1 message = "Hi Ravi"

Output

Ravi

Slicing from Start

If start index is not specified, slicing starts from the index 0.

Code
PYTHON

1 message = "Hi Ravi"

Output

Hi

Checking Data Type

Check the datatype of the variable or value using

type()

Printing Data Type

Code
PYTHON

1 print(type(10))
2 print(type(4.2))
3 print(type("Hi"))

Output

<class 'int'>
<class 'float'>
<class 'str'>

Type Conversion

Converting the value of one data type to another data type is called Type Conversion or Type Casting.
We can convert

String to Integer

Integer to Float

Float to String and so on.

String to Integer

int() converts valid data of any type to integer

Code
PYTHON

1 a = "5"
2 a = int(a)
3 print(type(a))
4 print(a)

Output

<class 'int'>
5

Invalid Integer Conversion

Code
PYTHON

1 a = "Five"
2 a = int(a)
3 print(type(a))

Output

ValueError:
invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'Five'

Code
PYTHON

1 a = "5.0"
2 a = int(a)
3 print(type(a))

Output

invalid literal for int() with base 10: '5.0'

Adding Two Numbers

Code
PYTHON

1 a = input()
2 a = int(a)
3 b = input()
4 b = int(b)
5 result = a + b
6 print(result)

Input

2
3

Output

Integer to String

str() converts data of any type to a string.

Code
PYTHON

1 a =
input()
2 a =
int(a)
3 b =
input()
4 b =
int(b)
l b

5 result = a + b
6 print("Sum: " + str(result))

Input

2
3

Output

Sum: 5

Summary
1. int() -> Converts to integer data type

2. float() -> Converts to float data type
