How to convert string to a datatype variable?

Question

I have a.c file, which contains below line

uint32 num_of_entries = 65;

I am writing an automation script to open and create similar 'c' file and write the line "uint32 num_of_entries = " int(65)

Both files look similar, but the script created file throws undefined reference. I think it is because of how I am writing in string format. If that is the case do I need to change the string to any data type?

I am writing it as file.write("uint32 num_of_entries = " + int(65))

Answer 1

You are close, but you need to use f-strings or the .format() function to format the output:

# Using an f-string
file.write(f"uint32 num_of_entries = {65}")

# Using the `.format()` function:
file.write("uint32 num_of_entries = {0}".format(65))
