The built-in float() function returns a float value based on a string, numeric data type, or no value at all.
Syntax
float(num_string)
The num_string parameter is optional and should either be a string or numeric type.
Example
In the example, the float() function is used to return float-type versions of an integer value 314 and a string “314”:
print(float(314))print(float("314"))
The following output will look like this:
314.0314.0
