Type Conversion in Python
Type conversion (or type casting) changes a value from one data type to another. Python does some conversions automatically (implicit), but often you need to do it explicitly.
This is important when working with user input, calculations, or different data structures.
Implicit Conversion
Python automatically converts types in some operations.
Explicit Conversion
Use built-in functions to convert manually.
To Integer – int()
To Float – float()
To String – str()
To Boolean – bool()
Converting Collections
Common Use Cases
- User input (always string) → convert to number
- Combining numbers and strings for output
- Preparing data for calculations
