[issue44866] Inconsistent Behavior of int()

[Serhiy Storchaka]

I understand your confusion John.

The fact is that int() serves two functions. If argument is a number, it truncates it to an integer. If argument is a string, it parses the string representation of integer (not necessary decimal).

For details see https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int .
