replace , to . for float converting in python

You can use the replace() method in Python to replace the comma "," with a dot "." for float converting.

Here's an example:

main.py
# Original string with comma
float_str = "3,14"

# Replacing comma with dot
float_str = float_str.replace(",", ".")

# Converting to float
float_num = float(float_str)

print(float_num)  # Output: 3.14
202 chars
11 lines

In the above example, replace(",", ".") replaces all occurrences of "," with "." in the float_str variable. Then, you can use the float() function to convert the modified string into a float.

Remember to ensure that the original string only contains valid float format, as replacing commas with dots is just a character manipulation and doesn't handle any other conversion requirements.
