Hello @huntz4k ,

There is no such method, that can be used to take input as a float directly – but input string can be converted into a float by using float() function which accepts a string or a number and returns a float value. Here is a block of code which converts the user input to float(), prints the number and its data type.

# reading a value, converting to float
# printing value and it's type
val = float(input("Enter any number: "))
print("value of val2: ", val)
print("type of val2: ", type(val))
