What is type conversion in Python?

Python offers a valuable feature that allows for the conversion of data types as needed. This process is referred to as type conversion in Python.

Type conversion can be divided into two types:

Implicit Type Conversion: This type of conversion is automatically performed by the Python interpreter without requiring any user intervention.

Explicit Type Conversion: This type of conversion involves the user explicitly changing the data type to the desired type.

Below are several functions for explicit type conversion:int(): This function converts any data type to an integer. float(): This function converts any data type to a float. ord(): This function returns an integer representing the Unicode character. hex(): This function converts integers to hexadecimal strings. oct(): This function converts integers to octal strings. tuple(): This function converts a value to a tuple. set(): This function returns the type after converting to a set. list(): This function converts any data type to a list. dict(): This function is used to convert a tuple of key-value pairs into a dictionary. str(): This function is used to convert an integer into a string.

complex(real, imag): This function is used to convert real numbers to complex numbers in the form of complex(real, imag).
