I am having issue with converting the string into a float because there is a
negative, so only end up with "ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 81.4]"
def contains_words(word,msg):
if word in msg:
return true
else:
return false
def get_tweet(tweet_line):
part_list = tweet_line.split('\t')
tweet = part_list[3]
return tweet
def get_longitude(tweet_line):
part_list = tweet_line.split('\t')
gps = part_list[0]
gps_list = gps.split(', ')
long = gps_list[1]
long1 = long[1:]
longitude = float(long1)
return longitude
a = get_longitude("[41.3, -81.4]\t6\t2011-08-28 19:02:28\tyay. little league
world series!")
print a
the answer should be
get_longitude("[41.3, -81.4]\t6\t2011-08-28 19:02:28\tyay. little league world
series!") → -81.4
