Is parsing covered in the python course?

Question

I am having trouble understanding what parsing represents in this function or argument. def pars_int(str):

def parse_int(str):
"""Parses user-entered string for an integer value between
0 including and 100 including.
Args:
str (string): User input gathered from command line.
Returns:
int: The parsed integer if the input was valid; None
otherwise.
"""
Am I just creating a string for a user to read and prompt to input with an integer?

Answer 1

Not explicitly, but the course provides all relevant basic topics required for this job. You need to parse a string input from user to it's integer value representation if available and print it.

Answer 3

I understand parsing breaks an argument into a branching tree or something along the lines of that. From what I've looked online and stuff. Hmm I think I know what to do now thanks for replying.
