Changing str to int in Python2

I want to change the first element of the time to int so i can perform mathematical calculations on it. Input it takes is

Integer = int(ls[0])

It cast str to an int and then u can use this Integer to do calculations

int() returns the integer. The variable is not changed in-place.

Assign the result:

ls[0] = int(ls[0])
