pylab_ml.common.data.str2num

str2num(value, base=10, default='')

Translate str to numeric value.

eg. str2num(“0x1A”) -> 26

str2num(“0b1010”) -> 10 str2num(“”) -> default value (empty string) str2num(“3.14”) -> 3.14 str2num(“Hello”) -> “Hello”

Parameters:

• value (str) – The string to be converted to a numeric value. The function will attempt to parse the string as an integer or a float, and will return the original string if it cannot be parsed as a number.

• base (int, optional) – The base to use for parsing integers. Default is 10. If the string starts with “0x” or “0b”, the base will be automatically set to 16 or 2, respectively.

• default (any, optional) – The default value to return if the input string is empty or None. Default is an empty string.

Returns:

The parsed numeric value if the string can be converted to an integer or a float, or the original string if it cannot be parsed as a number. If the input string is empty or None, the specified default value will be returned.

Return type:

int, float, or str
