[Tutor] string to int or float

[Jimmy verma]

Hello,

I want to convert a list of strings to list of integers:

e.g.

List = ['207','-308','-8.0','6']

and i want it like this

list = [207, -308, -8.0, 6]

i am trying to do it with int and float functions
But i dont know how i can check whether the string will be for float 
function or int function.

for i in range(len(list)):
      t = int(list[i])

But this will give error when it will encounter '-8.0' as it should be 
submitted to float()


Is there any pythonic way to check whether i should use int or float.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
J+
