while(True): name = input("Enter a name ") try: x = int(name) x+=1 print("\n" + name + " is a number") except: break print("\nHi " + name) Try this↑: it tries to convert and increment the input. If that fails, the input must be a string. You can use float() instead of int() to check for inputs like 1.23.

Not sure how to do it in python exactly but the logic behind this would be: name = input("Enter a name ") while (name is int) print("That is a number") name = input("Enter a name ") print("Hi " + name)

Glad I could help :) #+=1 can't be converted to an int so it stays as a string. If you want a name with no numbers in, you could create a boolean method to check every letter of name, and put it in an if statement.
