Python | Strings to Integers

[Prince Of The Elite]

Well, I've started learning python couple of weeks ago. I've become familiar with its structure and style. But, trying to make my very first and simple programe, I got some problems or in other words I lacked the code I needed, so can anyone offer help ....

1) is there a code that lets the user input an integer

2) a simmilar question, is there a code by which I can change strings into integers

3) well actualy it's not a request, it's a question: what does "raw_input" do ? And if it does differ from "input" what's the substitute in python 3 (i'm using python 3 and there's no such a code called raw_input)

That's all. I would be thankful to whoever help

Well, thanks lot but it didn't fit my question ! Well, as i mentioned, im using python 3 and the "input" func. returns strings, only strings, just strings !!! In addition there isn't any explanation why doesn't the Py. func. include "raw_input" ....

Thanks though

no not exactly, but input() was mentioned though

here's something for your purpose:

Code: Select all

while(True):
    input = raw_input("Please enter an integer: ")

    try:
        num = int(input)
    except ValueError:
        print "You entered invalid input."
        continue

    print "The number you entered is " + str(num)

Okay so here is the answer to your questions. Because you are using python 3.x there is no raw_input() just input() raw_input() was the python 2.x way of inputting a string and input() was how they made input for integers. But because of some problems with input() people would take the string that was entered into raw_input() and make it into a integer by typing int(raw_input()) or float(raw_input()). Keep in mind float() makes a number add .0 to the end so it can work with them and int() take whole numbers such as 5 . So for python 3.x instead of using raw_input() you use input() so to make it output floats or ints you would type int(input()) or float(input()). Hope that helps.
