python - How can I get the first two digits of a number?

Question

I want to check the first two digits of a number in Python. Something like this:

for i in range(1000):

    if(first two digits of i == 15):
        print("15")

    elif(first two digits of i == 16):
        print("16")

Is there a command to check the first two digits of a number? I'd like to avoid commands like if(i>149 and i<160):...

Answer 1

You can convert your number to string and use list slicing like this:

int(str(number)[:2])

Output:

>>> number = 1520
>>> int(str(number)[:2])
15
