Letter as number

Question

How could I make it so a letter is equal to a number but no number? I want to make it so in my code x is a number but the number isn’t specified that way it could be any number

Answer 1

Are you talking about declaring a variable without assigning a value? I don't think that's possible in python.

Answer 2

# The str() function converts the specified value into a string.

print(str(9)*3)
print(9*3)

Answer 4

You could reference the number within a dictionary using get().

say i have a dictionary:

a = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, ....}

and i want a letter i get to change to whatever number should represent it, i took the simple approach.

Anytime you get a letter you want only to be associated with it's number, send it through the dictionary.

char = 'g'
lett_as_num = a.get(char, None)
