Python: Convert all items in a given list to float values

Python Basic - 1: Exercise-140 with Solution

Write a Python program to convert all items in a given list to float values.

Sample Solution-1:

Python Code:

nums = ['0.49', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.55', '0.54', '0.54',  '0.54', 
 '0.55', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54']
print("Original list:")
print(nums)
print("\nList of Floats:")
nums_of_floats = []
for item in nums:
    nums_of_floats.append(float(item))
print(nums_of_floats)

Sample Output:

Original list:
['0.49', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.55', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54']

List of Floats:
[0.49, 0.54, 0.54, 0.54, 0.54, 0.54, 0.55, 0.54, 0.54, 0.54, 0.55, 0.55, 0.55, 0.54, 0.55, 0.55, 0.54, 0.55, 0.55, 0.54]

Sample Solution-2:

Python Code:

nums = ['0.49', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.55', '0.54', '0.54',  '0.54', 
 '0.55', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54']
print("Original list:")
print(nums)
print("\nList of Floats:")
nums_of_floats = [float(item) for item in nums]
print(nums_of_floats)

Sample Output:

Original list:
['0.49', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.55', '0.54', '0.54', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54', '0.55', '0.55', '0.54']

List of Floats:
[0.49, 0.54, 0.54, 0.54, 0.54, 0.54, 0.55, 0.54, 0.54, 0.54, 0.55, 0.55, 0.55, 0.54, 0.55, 0.55, 0.54, 0.55, 0.55, 0.54]
