# to specify a type on to a variable
# This can be done with casting

# int() - constructs an integer number from an integer literal,
#         a float literal (by rounding down to the previous whole number),
#         or a string literal (providing the string represents a whole number)

x = int(1)
y = int(2.5)
z = int("123")


# 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)

a = float(1)
b = float(5.7)
c = float("3.14")


# str() - constructs a string from a wide variety of data types, including strings, integer literals and float literals

i = str(25)
j = str(2.5)
k = str("ram")
