Python int() Function - GeeksforGeeks

Last Updated : 19 Mar, 2025

The Python int() function converts a given object to an integer or converts a decimal (floating-point) number to its integer part by truncating the fractional part.

Example:

In this example, we passed a string as an argument to the int() function and printed it.

age = "21"
print("age =", int(age))

Output:

age = 21

The syntax of the int() function in Python is as follows:

Syntax: int(x, base)

• x [optional]: string representation of integer value, defaults to 0, if no value provided.
• base [optional]: (integer value) base of the number.

Returns: Return decimal (base-10) representation of x

Let us see a few examples of int() in Python.

In this example, we passed a string, a float, and an integer value as a parameter to the int() function in Python to see how the input is affected by applying the int() function.

# int() on string representation of numbers
print("int('9')) =", int('9'))

# int() on float values
print("int(9.9) =", int(9.9))

# int() on Python integer
print("int(9) =", int(9))

Output : 

int('9')) = 9
int(9.9) = 9
int(9) = 9

In this example, we used the int() function to convert the base of a number from Binary, Octal, and Hexadecimal to a Decimal integer.

# octal to decimal using int()
print("int() on 0o12 =", int('0o12', 8))

# binary to decimal using int()
print("int() on 0b110 =", int('0b110', 2))

# hexa-decimal to decimal using int()
print("int() on 0x1A =", int('0x1A', 16))

Output : 

int() on 0o12 = 10
int() on 0b110 = 6
int() on 0x1A = 26

TypeError: raises TypeError when any object that does not have __int__() or __index__() Python magic methods implemented.

ValueError: raises ValueError when any object cannot be converted to an integer.

In this example, we are trying to convert a binary number to a decimal number using the Python int() function. But this code will raise an error as the binary number passed is not in a single quote.

Output : 

TypeError: int() can't convert non-string with explicit base

This example will generate a value error as we are passing a Python String to the int() function.

Output:

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

The int() in Python can be used on custom objects. Let us see a few examples of the same.

In this example, we created a class called 'Number' and defined a value and a constructor that returns the value. Then we created an object called 'data' of the Number class which invokes the __init__() method. The data object stores the value that is returned by that method and then using the int() function we printed the value.

class Number:
    value = 7
    
    def __int__(self):
        return self.value

data = Number()
print("number =", int(data))

Output:

number = 7

In this example, we created a class called 'Number' and defined a value and a function that returns the value. Then we created an object called 'data' of the Number class which invokes the __index__() method. The data object stores the value that is returned by that method and then using the int() function we printed the value.

class Number:
    value = 7
    
    def __index__(self):
        return self.value

data = Number()
print("number =", int(data))

Output:

number = 7

The int() function in Python is used in all the standard conversions. For example, the conversion of binary to decimal, octal to decimal, and hexadecimal to decimal.
