"""
Exercise 5: Take the following Python code that stores a string:
str = 'X-DSPAM-Confidence:0.8475'
Use find and string slicing to extract the portion of the string after the
colon character and then use the float function to convert the extracted
string into a floating point number.

"""


str = 'X-DSPAM-Confidence:0.8475'
start = str.find(':')
#print(start)

host = str[start+1:].strip()
print(type(host))
num = float(host)
print(num)
print(type(num))
