Can´t convert str to int, please help

Question

I'm a total beginner and I can not fix this code...

name = input("Type your name")
print("Hello " + name + "!")
age = input("Type your age")
if age >= 18: print("Welcome to the site")
else: print(You're not allowed into the site)

Answer 1

Luiz Peralta

do this

age = int(input ())

Don't write anything in input function otherwise it will append with input value.

Answer 2

Take input as int

Example:
x=int(input())
print(type(x)) #integer

y=input()
print(type(y)) #string

by default input() takes inputs as string

Answer 3

Thanks a lot both of you. 👍

As your coding gets more complex, you may wish to change your variable type during the code.

Example:
age = input() # string
age = int(age) # integer
age = str(age) # string

This enables you to keep the name of your variable, but change it to the type that suits your purpose within the code
