In this article, we will learn about how to write a python program to read float as input.

There is no such built-in method in python that accepts float value directly from console. But, there is a built-in method – input() which can be used to read string value entered in console. Then, we can convert string value into float using built-in float() function. We can convert entered value to float as below –

float(entered_value)

Example:

float(2.4)

It returns 2.4 as float value.

Example 1: Read Float From Console in Python

Using built-in method input() and data type conversion to float, we can read value to console in python as below –

# Read float input from console
n = float(input('Enter a Float value: '))

When we run above problem, we get output as below –

Enter a Float value: 23.0

Here, 23.0 is float value entered by user in console.

Example: Print value in Python

Now, we are going to print float value entered by user in console. We can do so using print() method in python as below –

print(FLOAT_VALUE)

Finally,

# Read float input from console
n = float(input('Enter a Float value: '))

print('Entered value is: ', n)

When we run above program, output will be –

Enter a Float value: 23.0
Entered value is: 23.0

Thus, we learnt about how to write python program to read float as input and print it to console. Visit post to learn more about python.
