How to convert String into Float? [duplicate]

Question

I'm required to covert the variable:

pi_string = "3.1415926"

into a float. Here's what I'm dealing with:

Answer 1

Your line should be pi_float = float(pi_string)

float(pi_string) is a float value, you can not assign to it, because it is not a variable.

Answer 2

The method float() will do this for you if pi_string = "3.1415926".

>>>pi_float = float(pi_string)
>>>type(pi_float)
<class 'float'>
