Hmmm, I'm kind of taking a shot in the dark here because your question is very vague, it would help if you could explain a little better.

I looked at the quiz and i think you are asking how to handle converting to a different data type

int("3") # converts the string '3' to an int 3
str(3) # converts the int 3 to a string 3
float(3) # converts the int 3 to a float 3, this would return 3.0
ord('x') # returns the unicode code point/identifier for a one character string. I find this one is fun to play around with.

I'm probably missing a few but the first 3 are very useful.

Thanks a lot
