python convert string list to float

In Python, converting a list of strings to a list of floating-point numbers is a common task. This tutorial will guide you through the process with step-by-step explanations and code examples.
Let's start by creating a list of strings. This list will serve as our input, and we'll convert its elements to floating-point numbers.
The most concise and Pythonic way to convert a string list to a float list is by using list comprehension. We iterate through each string in the original list and convert it to a float.
Now, float_list contains the corresponding floating-point numbers.
When converting strings to floats, it's important to handle cases where the string is not a valid float (e.g., "abc"). To handle such situations, you can use a try-except block.
This code will catch any ValueError that occurs during the conversion and print a message while skipping the invalid value.
This example covers the basic conversion as well as handling invalid values during the process. Feel free to modify the code according to your specific requirements.
