How to Convert From One Type to Another in Python

In this example we will show how to convert from one type to another with the int(), float(), and complex() methods in Python.

Source Code

a = 8       # int
b = 8.8     # float
c = 6 + 8j  # complex

# convert from int to float
a_to_float = float(a)
print(a_to_float)
print(type(a_to_float))

# convert from float to int
b_to_int = int(b)
print(b_to_int)
print(type(b_to_int))

# convert from int to complex
a_to_complex = complex(a)
print(a_to_complex)
print(type(a_to_complex))

Output:

8.0

8

(8+0j)
