Python’s float() method will convert integers to floats. To use this function, add an integer inside of the parentheses:
float(57)
In this case, 57 will be converted to 57.0.
You can also use this with a variable. Let’s declare f as equal to 57, and then print out the new float:
f = 57
print(float(f))
[secondary_label Output]
57.0
By using the float() function, we've converted an integer to a float.
