From selenium, how to find value locate by id?

I am new to selenium. I need to find a price display on a web page - 199. I am able to locate the element by 

total_value = driver.find_element_by_id('items_total')

the html code is

<div class="quantity-value-total" id = "items_total">$199.00</div> == $0.

Is my line 

total_value = driver.find_element_by_id('items_total')

assign the value of 199 to total value? Please help

In Java you can use 

String total_value= driver.findElement(By.id("items_total")).getText();

which will store the value $199.00 in a string total_value

No, the line 

total_value = driver.find_element_by_id('items_total')

will not assign the value 199 to total_value. Instead it will assign an object (HTML element), whose text is $199.00. So you get that text using text property:

total_value = driver.find_element_by_id('items_total').text

Note that total_value will contain the full string ($199.00), so you will need to manipulate it if you just want to get 199 as a number
