How do I convert all strings in a list of lists to integers?
integer, python, string
Solution
`int()` is the Python standard built-in function to convert a string into an integer value. You call it with a string containing a number as the argument, and it returns the number converted to an integer:
>>> int("1") + 1

If you know the structure of your list, T1 (that it simply contains lists, only one level), you could do this in Python 3:
T2 = [list(map(int, x)) for x in T1]
In Python 2:
T2 = [map(int, x) for x in T1]
Problem
I have a tuple of tuples containing strings: ``` T1 = (('13', '17', '18', '21', '32'), ('07', '11', '13', '14', '28'), ('01', '05', '06', '08', '15', '16')) ``` I want to convert all the string elements into integers and put them back into a list of lists: ``` T2 = [[13, 17, 18, 21, 32], [7, 11, 13, 14, 28], [1, 5, 6, 8, 15, 16]] ```
