Basic Python doubt

[west gull]

x=input('value')
y=int(x)
print (y+40)
Why does it not work for decimal values , but works finely for integrals
Started python today

[hasty scarab]

int() converts to integers

Integers can't have decimal values (aka floating point) -> it breaks

Try using float() instead

[west gull]

x=int(2.3)
Print (x) gives 2

How is it working for decimals here

[west gull]

It should convert 2.3 into 2 then y=2 now y+40= 42

But it gives an error

Works fine for integral inputs

[west gull]

If we enter x=2.3

As input

[hasty scarab]

So you want to round it down?

[hasty scarab]

You're passing in a floating point number here, your input returns a string though

[west gull]

So this 2 is in form of string value?

When we use int(2.3)

[hasty scarab]

Your x in this code is of type str

x = input() # type(x) = str
y = int(x) # exception, can't convert it properly

x = 2.5 # type(x) = float
y = int(x) # y = 2

[west gull]

Yeah got the answer

Int function can only convert integrals (in form of strings) to numbers

Like x="4" ( any integral value)
y= int (x)
print(y) gives 4

But x= "2.3"
y=int(x)
Shows the same error
