Can you cast a string of a float number into an integer in python? (in 1 step) [duplicate]

Question

Example:

string = "12.4"
x = int(string)

Just curious if there's a way to do this directly, or if you just have to convert to float then to int as 2 steps.

Answer 1

x="12.4"
x=int(float(x))# this float(x) first converts the string x into float and 
#then int() function converts now newly float x int int x
