More on strings -- Conversions
• You can convert anything to a string
>>> str(42), str(3.8), str([1,2,3])
’42’, ‘3.8’, ‘[1, 2, 3]’
>>> str(len)
‘<built-in function len>’
>>> str(str)
“<type ‘str’>”
• Converting a string to something else is pretty straightforward
>>> int(“42”), float(“42”), list(“42”)
42, 42.0, [‘4’, ‘2’]
