Help with python, how make int from string

Question

I don't want to write if int(x) > 0 every time, how i can rewrite this?

x= input()
Int(x)// error ?
if x >0:
print("optimist")
else:
print ("pessimist")

if x == 0:
print ("realist")

Answer 1

Here is the answer :

x= input()
if int(x) >0:
print("optimist")
else:
print ("pessimist")

if x == 0:
print ("realist")

Take care, that was not "Int" but "int".

Alternative solution :

x= int(input())
if x > 0:
print("optimist")
else:
print ("pessimist")

if x == 0:
print ("realist")

Answer 2

I think you need to assure the user will input only numeric values. I would do it like this:

x=input()
try:
x=int(x)
if x>0:
print('optmist')
elif x<0:
print('pessimist')
else:
print('realist')
except:
print('You input an invalid information')
