Type conversion

Type Conversion
 Type version conversion functions
 Int()
 Oct()
 Hex()
 Ord()
 Chr()
 Float()
 String()
 Eval()
 Int(): Returnswhole number
 Int(x, base): This function convert x to an
integer of specified base.
Ques: abc=‘0011’
 Conversion of binary to int
 a='11'
 print(int(a,2))
 Output: 3
 Oct(): octal(0to7)
 Oct() takes an integer and return its octal
representation
 A=65
 Print(oct(A))
 Output: 0O101
 Hex(): Hexadecimal(0-15)
 Hex(): takes an integer and return its octal
hexadecimal representation
 The hexadecimal number system is a type of
number system, that has a base value equal to
16.
 Hex()
 Print(hex(45))
 Output: 0x2d
 Encoding
 The process of conversion of data from one
form to another is known as encoding.
 Example: The key ‘B’ is pressed. It is internally
map to decimal value i.e. 66, which is then
convert into binary language for computer
undersatnding.
 ORD()
 The ord() function returns the number
representing the unicode code of a specified
character.

 Example:
 abc = 'b'
 print(ord(abc))
 Chr()
 Python chr() function is used to get a string
representing of a character which points to a
Unicode code integer

 Example: x=41
 Print(chr(41))
 Output: I
 Float()
 This function is used to convert any datatypeto
float.
 X=28
 Print(float(x))
 Output: 28.0
 Str()
 The string function is used to convert x to
string representation.
 X=‘100’
 Print(str(100))
 Output:100
 Complex()
 Comp(real, imaginary): returns real and
imaginary number:
 Example: print(complex(100,3))

 Output: 100+3j
 Eval()
 The eval() method parses the expression passed
to this method and runs expression (code)
within the program.
 Example:
 a=eval(input(“enter first number")) 56
 b=eval(input(“enter second number")) 23.2
 C=a+b
 Print(c)
 Output: 79.2
