Type Conversion

Type Conversion in Python

Python defines type conversion functions to directly convert one data type to another which is useful in day to day and competitive programming.

int(a,base)() : This function converts any data type to integer. ‘Base’ specifies the base in which string is if data type is string.
float() : This function is used to convert any data type to a floating point number

s = "10010"

c = int(s,2)

print ("After converting to integer base 2 : ", end="")

print (c)

e = float(s)

print ("After converting to float : ", end="")

print (e)

OUTPUT :
After converting to integer base 2 : 18
After converting to float : 10010.0

ord() : This function is used to convert a character to integer.
hex() : This function is to convert integer to hexadecimal string.
oct() : This function is to convert integer to octal string.

s = '4'

c = ord(s)

print ("After converting character to integer : ",end="")

print (c)

c = hex(56)

print ("After converting 56 to hexadecimal string : ",end="")

print (c)

c = oct(56)

print ("After converting 56 to octal string : ",end="")

print (c)

OUTPUT :
After converting character to integer : 52
After converting 56 to hexadecimal string : 0x38
After converting 56 to octal string : 0o70

tuple() : This function is used to convert to a tuple.
set() : This function returns the type after converting to set.
List () : This function is used to convert any data type to a list type.

s = 'geeks'

c = tuple(s)

print ("After converting string to tuple : ",end="")

print (c)

c = set(s)

print ("After converting string to set : ",end="")

print (c)

c = list(s)

print ("After converting string to list : ",end="")

print (c)

OUTPUT :
After converting string to tuple : (‘g’, ‘e’, ‘e’, ‘k’, ‘s’)
After converting string to set : {‘k’, ‘e’, ‘s’, ‘g’}
After converting string to list : [‘g’, ‘e’, ‘e’, ‘k’, ‘s’]

dict() : This function is used to convert a tuple of order (key,value) into a dictionary.
str() : Used to convert integer into a string.
complex(real,imag)() : : This function converts real numbers to complex(real,imag) number.

a = 1

b = 2

tup = (('a', 1) ,('f', 2), ('g', 3))

c = complex(1,2)

print ("After converting integer to complex number : ",end="")

print (c)

c = str(a)

print ("After converting integer to string : ",end="")

print (c)

c = dict(tup)

print ("After converting tuple to dictionary : ",end="")

print (c)

OUTPUT :
After converting integer to complex number : (1+2j)
After converting integer to string : 1
After converting tuple to dictionary : {‘a’: 1, ‘f’: 2, ‘g’: 3}

chr(number)() : : This function converts number to its corresponding ASCII character.

a = chr(76)

b = chr(77)

print(a)

print(b)

OUTPUT :
L
M
