Here the name takes any data type. How can I make sure it only accepts a string?

I don't think u can prevent input() from taking a number. What u can do is to make ur code raise an exception when someone enters a number, say: string = input("Do not enter a number:") try: string = int(string) except ValueError: print("Good, you didn't enter a number") else: print("Why did u enter a number?") OR string = input("Do not enter a number:") if string.isalpha(): print("Good, you didn't enter a number") else: print("Why did u enter a number?")
