How to get an integer input?

Question

Im new at python, and have written a simple code that multiplies the input with 2. I did take an x variable wich is = input('enter a number')
Then y = x * 2, then print (y). I have tried to cgange it in many ways, but i can never get an intwger input

Answer 1

This might help :
x = int (input ("Enter a number "))
y = x * 2
print (y)

Python doesn't evaluate and convert the data type, you have to explicitly convert to int

Answer 2

Then the output is (when for example enter 4 in input): enter a number8. How to get simple an 8?
