# 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'

colon = str.find(':')
piece = str[colon+1:]
value = float(piece)
print(value)
