Why i am not getting an integer value?

Question

a=input("enter a number. ")
int(a)
a=a*3
print(a)

Answer 1

Just replace

int(a)

With this

a = int(a)

Or alternatively you can directly cast the input to int as follows:

a = int(input("Enter a number: "))

P.S. You should add 'Python' in Relevant Tags.
