TypeError: unorderable types: str() > int() please help in explaining this error

Question

#Why is this code wrong?

num = input ('enter number')

if num > 5:
print("Bigger than 5")
if num <=47:
print("Between 5 and 47")

Answer 1

You must convert the input from a string to an integer. You can't compare a string with an int :)

Answer 2

Try this:

num = int(input("enter number"))
# You have to convert input() to int as it returns a string by default

Answer 3

thanks a lot. so it takes input in form of string and i should convert it to integer using function int. got it. :) cheers!
