For starters, I googled and saw a plethora of writings on how to convert an entire list from string to float. My interest is on select elements in the list. The output from the print statement: print scenarioList is as follows [ '3000000', '"N"', '11400000', '"E"' ] I need to convert the first and third element to float. lat = ( float ) scenarioList [ 0 ] lon = ( float ) scenarioList [ 2 ] fails (invalid syntax). How can I achieve my objective. Thanks in advance
Strong hint, you do not cast the strings to floats, you call the builtin float() function to do the conversion.
