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. Python is an object-orientated language, and as such it uses classes to define data types, including its primitive types.
Casting in python is therefore done using constructor functions:

-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

Examples
"""

#Integers:

x = int(1)
y = int(2.8)
z = int("3")
print(x)
print(y)
print(z)

#Floats:

x = float(1)
y = float(2.8)
z = float("3")
w = float("4.2")
print(x)
print(y)
print(z)
print(w)

#Strings:

x = str("s1")
y = str(2)
z = str(3.0)
print(x)
print(y)
print(z)
