Python is a High Level Programming language which was introduced in 1991. It amazing features make it significant from other programming languages. In certain conditions, you need to undergo several data type conversions i.e. int to string, string to int etc. In previous article, the conversion, int to string was discussed. You can access it from the link given below;
How to Convert Int to String in Python
Here we will discuss how to convert string to int in python. This conversion has great importance as it is necessary in many conditions. For this purpose there is integer function "int()" in Python. Following tutorial will help you to understand how to convert string to int or number in Python.
String to Int in Python
You can convert string to integer in three easy steps. These steps are mentioned below;
- Launch your Python editor.
- Type int(string).
