Convert any user input to int in Python

Question

I need to convert user input to int . Below is what I have written so far which is not working out. It only accepts int . the end goal is to have a user inputs float (eg 4.5) and the output would be (4).

i = input("Enter any value: ")

print(int(i))

Answer 1

int accepts integer string or a float but cannot handle float strings . So convert to float first and then convert to integer . If the input is invalid format, int(i) would raise ValueError exception, so you can use it to handle invalid inputs.

i = input("Enter any value: ")

try:
  print(float(int(i))
except ValueError:
  print("Please enter a number")

Answer 2

The input are in string format so first you need to convert it into float and then from float to int

You can do

i = input("Enter any value: ")

print(int(float(i)))

or you can do

i = float(input("Enter any value: "))

print(int(i))

Answer 3

Apart from the other answers, you can use round() function:

i = input("Enter any value: ")
print(round(i))

But if you want to simply cut the decimal part, you can use math lib and floor() :

import math
i = input("Enter any value: ")
print(math.floor(i))
