Question

How do I split a floating point number.

For example :

1.24345 would return 24345

1455.24 would return 24

1455.0 would return 0

Edit :

My solution inspired by Nick ODell. This is oriented specifically toward the Tkinter Text widget.

index = '140.2020'

split = index.split('.')

nindex = [int(i) for i in split]

print nindex

Answer 1

Assuming that ‘index’ is a string since you are dealing with a text widget index:

int(index.split('.')[-1])

If you really do have a floating point number, you need to convert it to a string first:

int(str(index).split('.')[-1])
