Is there a way to return the value of an integer in a list

Question

Trying to return an integer of an item from a list of values. For example

after splitting Hotdog : 3.00 with .split()

I get ['Hotdog', ':', '3.00']

What can I do to return the '3.00'?

thanks

You can access the third value of the array: `float(array[2])`. — flaxel, Apr 10 '21 at 09:40

You can access it

by knowing it's exact position
```
str_val = "Hotdog : 3.00".split()[2]
```
by knowing it's last item
```
str_val = "Hotdog : 3.00".split()[-1]
```

To get it as a number

# as float
val = float("Hotdog : 3.00".split()[2])

# as int, you need intermediate float as '3.00' is not direct int
val = int(float("Hotdog : 3.00".split()[2]))
