title: How to multiply string?
body: <p>I have a number that is represented as a string. I need to multiply this number by -1.</p>
  
  <pre><code>        myvalue = htmlcontent.find_next(class_='floatRight').text
          print(myvalue)
          myvalue = myvalue * -1
          print(myvalue)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above outputs the following:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>-0.1234</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The second print doesn't display anything. What am I doing wrong?</p>
