How do you solve this, and what's the real explanation of int(input()) it's confusing

input () function bydefault returns String so if you want to take integer value as input then you need to cast with int function.

So int(input())

Answer 2

input() returns a string, even if a number was given as input. It's going to be codified as a string, rather than an integer. In order to use that number for calculations, you need to convert it to an integer, and then, of course, store it in a variable. Therefore, you'll do:

fruit = int(input())

This problem is way easier than it looks. Remember that the number of apples is equal to half the amount of pieces of fruit. Also, remember that // will give you the result of an integer division.

For example:
5/2 equals 2.5
5//2 equals 2

You'll want to use // for this problem.

Basically, you only need to perform one simple calculation and print the result.
