Conversion Functions

Convert between types using built-in functions.

str(42)        # "42"
int("7")       # 7
float("3.14")  # 3.14

Character conversion is useful for building sector IDs (A1, B2, etc.):

chr(65)    # "A"
chr(66)    # "B"
ord("A")   # 65

Example: generate sector names.

row = 0
while row < 8:
    letter = chr(65 + row)
    sector = letter + str(1)
    print(sector)  # A1, B1, C1...
    row = row + 1
