+title: Converting Different Data Types to Required Types
+---
+## Type Convertions in Python for different data types
+
+Python defines type conversion functions to directly convert one data type to another which is useful in day to day programming. 
+#### 1. int(a,base) : 
+The above function converts any data type to integer. ‘Base’ specifies the base in which string is if data type is string.
+
+#### 2. float() : 
+The above function is used to convert any data type to a floating point number. Python does not implicitly typecast integers (or floats) to strings when concatenating with strings. Thus, Python has a handy built-in function `str()` which will convert the argument passed in to a string format.
+
+#### Example
+
+```py
+string = "1110"
+  
+# printing string converting to int base 2 
+convert = int(string,2) 
+print ("After converting to integer base 2 : ", end="") 
+print (convert) 
+```
+The Result that will show up is
+```
+After converting to integer base 2 : 14
+```
+#### 3. hex() : This function is to convert integer to hexadecimal string.
+
+#### 4. oct() : This function is to convert integer to octal string.
+
+#### Example
+
+```py
+
+# printing integer converting to hexadecimal string 
+c = hex(56) 
+print ("After converting 56 to hexadecimal string : ",end="") 
+print (c) 
+  
+# printing integer converting to octal string 
+c = oct(60) 
+print ("After converting 56 to octal string : ",end="") 
+print (c) 
+```
+The Result that will show up is
+```
+After converting 56 to hexadecimal string : 0x38
+After converting 56 to octal string : 0o74
+```
+5. tuple() : This function is used to convert input data type to a tuple.
+
+6. set() : This function returns the type after converting to set.
+
+7. list() : This function is used to convert any data type to a list type.
+
+```py
+# initializing string 
+s = 'Siingh'
+  
+# printing string converting to tuple 
+c = tuple(s) 
+print ("After converting string to tuple : ",end="") 
+print (c) 
+  
+# printing string converting to set 
+c = set(s) 
+print ("After converting string to set : ",end="") 
+print (c) 
+  
+# printing string converting to list 
+c = list(s) 
+print ("After converting string to list : ",end="") 
+print (c) 
+
+# Output
+# After converting string to tuple : ('s', 'i', 'i', 'n', 'g', 'h')
+# After converting string to set : {'n', 'h', 'g', 'i', 's'}
+# After converting string to list : ['s', 'i', 'i', 'n', 'g', 'h']
+```
