Sorry if this is a stupid question I am still very new to python but I was wondering,

If I have string, s = '1+6.3+3-7.6'

how could I take the sum of that?

I have tried using isdigit() but that just gets all the digits I have also tried turning it to a float but I got could not convert string to float I also tried turning it into an integer but I got invalid literal for int() with base 10.

Have a look at the `eval()` function. – Moritz Hartmann Sep 10 '22 at 18:21

@Mole Using eval could be dangerous. – codester_09 Sep 10 '22 at 18:30
