In programming, casting is used to convert data-type to a different one based on what it will be used for.

Remember ...

In programming, we can assign different types of data to variables and the choice of data type depends on the use of this variable.

Example

item = "crisp"

quantity = 5.2

print (quantity, item,"bags")

Example

item = "crisp"

quantity = 5.2

print (quantity, item,"bags")

The data type of the variable quantity is float because it is a decimal number

Example

item = "crisp"

quantity = 5.2

print (quantity, item,"bags")

The data type of the variable quantity is float because it is a decimal number

Quantity of crisp bags can't have a decimal point so it is better to convert it to an integer:

Example

item = "crisp"

quantity = 5.2

quantity = int(quantity)

print (quantity, item,"bags")

Converts the variable quantity from float to integer by deleting the numbers after the decimal point
