stuck on "working with input" section under strings and variables for python

Question

I keep getting this error when trying to pass this part of the course.
My goal is to output the input x repeated y times.

Any help would be appreciated.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usercode/file0.py", line 3, in <module>
print(x*y)
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'str'

Answer 1

Looks like you multiplied a string by a string.
We have to use int() function to declare an integer as an input like this

X = int(input)
print(X)

Answer 2

Did you convert input for <y> into an integer? it seems both <x> and <y> were taken as string there.

y = int(input("Enter value of y:"))
