Convert integer to string in Python

Question

How do I convert an integer to a string?

42   ⟶   "42"

_{For the reverse, see How do I parse a string to a float or int?. Floats can be handled similarly, but handling the decimal points can be tricky because floating-point values are not precise. See Converting a float to a string without rounding it for more specific advice.}

Answer 1

>>> str(42)
'42'

>>> int('42')
42

Links to the documentation:

• int()
• str()

str(x) converts any object x to a string by calling x.__str__(), or repr(x) if x doesn't have a __str__() method.
