Convert the String to a Float in Python

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to convert the string to a float in Python with the help of examples.

Using float() function

We can convert a string to a float by using the built-in float() function in Python.

The float() function takes the string as an argument and converts it to the float.

Here is an example:

price = "953.343"
print(float(price))

Output:

953.343

You can also convert array of strings to the float like this.

x = ["525.0", "125.6", "929.2"]
print(list(map(float, x)))

Output:

[525.0, 125.6, 929.2]
