Python: Converting string into decimal number

Question

I have a python list with strings in this format:

A1 = [\' \"29.0\" \',\' \"65.2\" \',\' \"75.2\" \']

How do I convert those strings into d

Answer 1

use the built in float() function in a list comprehension.

A2 = [float(v.replace('"','').strip()) for v in A1]
