I understand your confusion John. The fact is that int() serves two functions. If argument is a number, it truncates it to an integer. If argument is a string, it parses the string representation of integer (not necessary decimal). For details see https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int . ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44866> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
