The error message “int() can’t convert non-string with explicit base” occurs when you try to use the int() function to convert a non-string value to an integer, but you also specify an explicit base for the conversion. The int() function in Python is used to convert a value to an integer.
When converting a string to an integer, you can specify the base of the number by providing a second argument to int(). For example, int("10", 2) converts the binary number “10” to an integer. In this case, the base is set to 2.
However, if you try to convert a non-string value without specifying a base, Python assumes that the base is 10 by default. But if you provide an explicit base argument for a non-string value, it results in the mentioned error.
Here’s an example that demonstrates this error:
value = 10
converted_value = int(value, 2)
In the above example, we try to convert the non-string value value to an integer with a base of 2. However, since value is not a string, this results in the error message “int() can’t convert non-string with explicit base”.
To resolve this, you need to ensure that you only use the explicit base argument when converting a string value to an integer. If you want to convert a non-string value to an integer, simply use int(value) without specifying the base.
