When a user is testing a user registration form for a web application, one of the fields is “Student Marks,” which is expected to be of float type. However, users can enter their marks as a string (e.g., “98”) when filling out the form. The user wants their marks to be converted to float type (e.g., “98.0”). This process involves converting the string value to a float.
Input: In input values user supposed to give input values as followed:
98;float
Expected Result: The application accepts the input and stores the marks as 98.0 (float type).
Output: The result of Type Cast action is stored in the {result} output variable as “98.0” (Float type), which can be utilized for display or other purposes.
