Why does int('.0') give ValueError?












0














I pass float number as string format in int('.0')



0.0 is valid floating point number, so why it is giving error?

    int('2.1') returns a value error too. Similarly int(0.1) returns 0.

From the documentation of int:




If x is not a number or if base is given, then x must be a string,
bytes, or bytearray instance representing an integer literal in radix
base. Optionally, the literal can be preceded by + or - (with no space
in between) and surrounded by whitespace.




So it gives you ValueError because the string '.0' does not represent an integer literal.

Because you can type cast one step at a time. For example you can convert float to int or string to int. Not a floating point string which here is 2steps.

    You can do it if you remove the quotes and make it a float like:



    int(.1)


    But strings don't work if inside the string is a float, because they will think it's a number and will break saying '.' is not a numeric value, also the reason the above works is because:



    >>> .1
    0.1
    >>>


    And:



    float(0.1)


    Works.



    Note that even a real float in a string can't be converted into an integer:



    >>> int('3.1')
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
    int('3.1')
    ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '3.1'
