Python int() Function
Python int() function is used to get the integer value. It returns an expression converted into an integer number. If the argument is a floating point, the conversion truncates the number. If the argument is outside the integer range, It converts the number into long type.
If the number is not a number or if a base is given, the number must be a string.
Signature
Parameters
x : A number which is to be converted into integer type.
base: It is an Optional argument if used number must be a string.
Return
It returns an integer value.
Let’s see some examples of int() function to understand it’s functionality.
Python int() Function Example 1
It is a simple python example which converts float and string values into an integer type. The float value is truncated by the function and returned an integer instead.
Output:
integer values : 10 10 10
Python int() Function Example 2
To verify the type of returned value, we can use type function. The type function returns the type of value. See an example below.
Output:
<class 'int'> <class 'float'> <class 'str'> values after conversion 10 10 10 and types are: <class 'int'> <class 'int'> <class 'int'>
Python int() Function Example 3
Output:
Values after conversion: 2 175 8 and types are: <class 'int'> <class 'int'> <class 'int'>
