ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '0.10'

Question

Example:

test = int(input("Enter a number"))
test2 = test * 24
print(test2)

when i enter a float number like 0.10 i get this error:

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '0.10'

test = int(float(input("Enter a number"))) makes 0.10 to 0

I want the output like this:

>>> 2.4

How do i fix?

You don't want an int at all, you want a float. Just do test = float(input("Enter a number")). — Samwise

If you don't want an int then don't convert it to an int. Just do float(input("Enter a number")) — Kemp

now it will work

test = float(input("Enter a number"))
test2 = test * 24
print("%.1f"%test2)

You need a float as an input so use:

test = float(input("Enter a number"))
