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.
