Convert a float to a string in Python

You can convert a float to a string using the str() in Python.

f1 = 1.23
f2 = .5

s1 = str(f1)
s2 = str(f2)

print(s1)  # 1.23
print(s2)  # 0.5

Both s1 and s2 are Python strings. A float value starting with dot has 0 integer part so .5 means 0.5.

f1 = 1 / 2
f2 = 1 / 7

s1 = str(f1)
s2 = str(f2)

print(s1)  # 0.5
print(s2)  # 0.14285714285714285
