yeah. in the 1st one it's just duplicating the string value. in next we're using the type conversion from int to float

Long explanation. Might help future doubts from anyone. With float, we're declaring that the result will have a decimal value. "210" is being declared as a string, just like the input enters as a string. We change the input from string to a real number by declaring int (integer) before it. So, when you put float("210" *int(input()) ), you are multiplying the string by the input given by the user, and turns it into a decimal value once the process is done. The final result, using the question exercise becomes: 210210.0
