A problem with convertion from string to float in Python 3.8

I created that y list that equals ['jan', 'feb', 'mar', '451'] I tried to convert the type of y[3] into a float, but when I printed the type of y[3] it appeared to be a string somehow.

What is the problem?

 >>>x = "jan feb mar 451"
 ...y = x.split()
 ...float(y[3])
 ...type(y[3])
 str

You need to assign result of float convertion with e.g. z = float(y[3]) or if you want to replace your string value with float you could do it with y[3]=float(y[3]).
