How to remove decimal part from a number in Python

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to remove the decimal part from a number in Python.

When a number having decimal places, we call it a floating-point number in Python.

Consider we have the following number:

num = 8.02

Using int() method

To remove the decimal from a number, we can use the int() method in Python.

The int() method takes the number as an argument and returns the integer by removing the decimal part from it.

Here is an example:

num = 8.02;
print(int(num));

Output:

8

It can be also used with negative numbers.

num = -9.053;
print(int(num));

Output:

9
