How do i get rid of the degree sign from my integer when i want to convert it from a string in a dic-CodePudding

I have a dictionary as follows:

Measurments = {'Kitchen': '22°', 'Master bedroom': '19°', 'Sitting room': '21°', 'Toilet': '24°', 'Guest bedroom': '18°', 'Garage': '15°', 'Outside': '12°'}

and want to save it in a new dictionary as follows:

newDictionary = {'Kitchen': 22, 'Master bedroom': 19, 'Sitting room': 21, 'Toilet': 24, 'Guest bedroom': 18, 'Garage': 15, 'Outside': 12}




i have tried :

newDictionary = {str(k):int(v) for k,v in measurements.items()}

but it gave me this error code:

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '22°'

How do i get rid of the degree sign so i can get the values as integers?

CodePudding user response：

If you are sure if everything has a degree, you can simply do as below.

measurements = {'Kitchen': '22°', 'Master bedroom': '19°', 'Sitting room': '21°', 'Toilet': '24°', 'Guest bedroom': '18°', 'Garage': '15°', 'Outside': '12°'}

newDictionary = {str(k):int(v[:-1]) for k,v in measurements.items()}

print(newDictionary)

CodePudding user response：

try something like this:

newDictionary = {key:int(value.replace('°', '')) for key,value in Measurments.items()}

since your values are all strings now, you can use replace method to remove the °, and then it will be able to convert it to int

CodePudding user response：

You can do it as follow by removing the unwanted character before converting it to int

newDictionary = {str(k):int(v[:-1]) for k,v in measurements.items()}
