Hi Rene,

In given eg,  
my\_integer = 1.9  
type(my\_integer)

my\_int = int(my\_integer)  
type(my\_int)

i could not understand the output of last two commands , as per me it will be like this:

```
type(my_integer) = type(1.9)
my_int = int(1.9)
type(my_int) = type (int(1.9))

```

so as per you it shows that class is integer(what integer) and How and how it get rid of decimal values?
