How to Convert tuple to float value in python - Handy Hack

Many times, When we working with tuple, we have faced a problem in which we need to convert a tuple to floating point number. In a tuple first element represents integer part and next element represents a decimal part. Now the problem is - How to Convert tuple to float value? Let's discuss the creation way-

Main Method:   Using  join() + float() + str() +  generator expression

Using this method we just convert first tuple element into a string, and then join them and convert them to desire integer.


Source Code:

# Convert tuple to float
# using join() + float() + str() + generator expression

#initialize tuple
tuple  =  (9,12)

#printing original tuple
print("The original tuple: " +  str(tuple))

# Convert tuple to float
# using join() + float() + str() + generator expression
var  =  float(' . ' . join(str(ele) for ele in tuple))

#print result
print("The float number after conversion from tuple is : "  +  str(var))


Output:

The original tuple: (9,12)
The float number after conversion from tuple is : 9.12


Note:

1. Concatenate a list of strings into one string:    join()
2. Concatenate a list of numbers into one string:  join(), str()
