In this article, you will learn how to solve valueerror: could not convert string to float: error in Python.
Let’s look at a code example that produces the same error.
Bitcoin_value = float(input("Enter the Bitcoin you want to convert to USD: "))
exchange_rate = 51000
Converted_value = Bitcoin_value * exchange_rate
print("{} Bitcoin is equal to {} USD".format(Bitcoin_value, Converted_value))Output
Enter the Bitcoin you want to convert to USD: 3,99
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
Bitcoin_value = float(input("Enter the Bitcoin you want to convert to USD: "))
ValueError: could not convert string to float: '3,99'
Our code runs without any error but if we try to insert a number into our code that is not formatted correctly we get the above error.
To fix valueerror: could not convert string to float: error in Python we can use a try…except block. As shown below:
Bitcoin_value = float(input("Enter the Bitcoin you want to convert to USD: "))
exchange_rate = 51000
Converted_value = Bitcoin_value * exchange_rate
print("{} Bitcoin is equal to {} USD".format(Bitcoin_value, Converted_value))
except:
print("Please insert a valid number. Don't include any commas, spaces, or characters.")The post Solved – valueerror: could not convert string to float: appeared first on CodeSource.io.
