Need help with lesson 14.1 on python working with inputs please.

Question

Somebody wrote code to take two integer inputs and output their product.
However, the code results in an error.

Fix the code to output the product of two integer inputs. Sample code is print( input()*input() )

sample input is 3 and 6

sample output is 18

Answer 1

input() returns string by default. You can use int() to convert it to an integer.
x = input() -> string
x = int(input()) -> integer

Answer 2

You need to use the int() function to use the inputs as integers, otherwise they will be read as strings. Try:

print(int(input()) * int(input()))
