[issue38274] sementic errors?

[Derbe Ejere]

New submission from Derbe Ejere <barataart2 at gmail.com>:

a = "hello"
b = "4.3" 

1.Both variables a  and b are type of object String (can be checked with type()
2.Change both to float using float(). 
variable a cannot be changed to float since it is str object. However,
variable b can be changed to float giving 4.3 eventhough it is also a str object. 

CONTRADICTION?!

Thanks,

Derbe Ejere
