Question

What will the following command display? print("fractional string to int:", int ("3.4"))  State the reason for getting the output and what is required to be done?

Accepted Answer

Ans. The above statement, upon execution, shall result in an error since Python int command cannot convert the string "3.4" into 3.4 as Python cannot perform two consecutive typecasts, therefore, you must convert it explicitly in code. This statement is to be modified such as: int(float("3.4")) which shall generate the output as 3.
