Answer 1

It's because strings, even if they contain nothing but numbers, are compared lexicographically (like words in a dictionary).

Comparing numbers: 1 < 5 < 10.

Comparing strings: "1" < "10" < "5".

That's why if you enter e.g. "12", the condition if coding_experience > "5" will evaluate to False and it won't even check if coding_experience >= 10.

You need to convert the input (string) to an integer to compare them like you would compare normal numbers:

coding_experience = int(input("for what no of years ve u coded"))
if coding_experience > 1:
print("u seem cool as a beginner .....go ahead")
if coding_experience > 5:
print("thats awesome")
if coding_experience >= 10:
print("i gotta learn from u dude")

Answer 2

Always read expressions that contain parentheses from the inside to the outside.

input() gets input from the user as a string.

To convert the input into an integer, wrap it into int():

user_input = int(input())

You could also do this:

user_input = input() # gets input as a string
user_input = int(user_input) # converts the string to an integer
