assignment 6.5 python for everybody
text = "X-DSPAM-Confidence: 0.8475"; a= text.find(':') b= text.find('5') c= text[a+1:b+1] d= float(c.lstrip()) print(d)
Here is what the above code is Doing:
1. The first line is a string that we are going to search.
2. The second line is a variable that stores the position of the colon.
3. The third line is a variable that stores the position of the 5.
4. The fourth line is a variable that stores the string between the colon and the 5.
5. The fifth line is a variable that stores the floating point number that is the result of stripping the whitespace from the string in the fourth line and converting it to a float.
6. The sixth line prints the value of the fifth line.
