a = float("45.678") ^ - the a variable is a float now

To explicitly convert a string into a float, use the float() function. "Python Type Conversion and Type Casting" https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/type-conversion-and-casting Example: # initializing string s = "10010" # printing string converting to float e = float(s) print ("After converting to float : ", end="") print (e)

Alexander - Code after correction: print (float("enter a number:")+float("enter another number")) The resulting error arises since you can't convert strings composed of characters other than numbers into an int or float value.
