python cast to float

string = "88.88"
print(float(string))
# output
# 88.88

# Casting = Specify a type on to a variable.
# Strings
x = str("s1") # x will be 's1'
y = str(2)    # y will be '2'
z = str(3.0)  # z will be '3.0'
# Ints
x = int(1)   # x will be 1
y = int(2.8) # y will be 2
z = int("3") # z will be 3
# Floats
x = float(1)     # x will be 1.0
y = float(2.8)   # y will be 2.8
z = float("3")   # z will be 3.0
w = float("4.2") # w will be 4.2

# example for printing an integer :
print("The number is : " + str(new_emoji)"
