Data Conversion
- The process of converting numeric data from one type to another is called type conversion.
- To convert an integer to a float, we use the
float()function.
To convert an integer to a complex number, we use the complex() function.
Example:
num1 = -25
num2 = float(num1)
num3 = complex(num1)
print(num2)
print(num3)Output:
-25.0
(-25+0j)- To convert from float to integer, we use the
int()function. Theint()function rounds off the given number to the nearest integer value.
To convert a float to a complex number, we use the complex() function.
Example:
num1 = 8.4
num2 = int(num1)
num3 = complex(num1)
print(num2)
print(num3)Output:
8
(8.4+0j)Note: Complex numbers cannot be converted to integer or float.
