How to convert a list which contains float values with single quotes to a list which has those values without singlequotes in python?

Question

Input list

res = ['1.000000e+000', '2.000000e+000', '1.000000e+000', '2.000000e+000']

output list should be like this

res = [1.000000e+000, 2.000000e+000, 1.000000e+000, 2.000000e+000]

Can you please suggest me how to produce this desired output using python

Those are not "float values with single quotes". Those are strings. You can do

res = list(map(float,res))

or a full comprehension

res = [float(i) for i in res]

when i use the above code i get the output as [[1.0, 2.0, 1.0, 2.0]] – sand Jun 25 '21 at 06:52
how to convert these values as its without single quotes i mean these are double values – sand Jun 25 '21 at 06:52
[1.0,2.0,1.0,2.0] is exactly what you should get. – Tim Roberts Jun 26 '21 at 03:41

just iterate over the elements in the list and cast the strings as floats. In this case I used a list comprehension (basically a loop):

res = [float(i) for i in res]
