dropping trailing '.0' from floats

Question

I\'m looking for a way to convert numbers to string format, dropping any redundant \'.0\'

The input data is a mix of floats and strings. Desired output:

0

Answer 1

Following code will convert contents of variable no as it is i.e. 45.60. If you use str the output will be 45.6

no = 45.60

strNo = "%.2f" %no
