Lesson 27 – Python Coding on Jetson Nano – Casting in Python

In this video I will show you what Casting in Python means. There may be times when you want to specify a type on to a variable. This can be done with casting. Python is an object-orientated language, and as such it uses classes to define data types, including its primitive types.
Casting in python is therefore done using constructor functions:
• int() - constructs an integer number
• float() - constructs a float number from an integer literal
• str() - constructs a string from a wide variety of data types, including strings, integer literals and float literals
