int()
int() is a Python function in the Built-in Functions category. Converts a number or string to an integer, or returns 0 if no arguments. The syntax is int(x=0, base=10). Parameters: x — number or string to convert. Returns: Integer. A typical example: int("42") # 42
int("FF", 16) # 255
int(3.14) # 3. A close sibling is print(), which prints objects to the text stream, separated by `sep` and followed by `end`. A close sibling is len(), which returns the length (number of items) of an object. Works with sequences, collections, and strings. A close sibling is range(), which returns an immutable sequence of numbers. Commonly used in for loops. A close sibling is type(), which returns the type of an object, or creates a new type with three arguments.
