for example: Users input always returns a string. imagine you'r making a calculator, you need numbers for that so you need to make the strings, numbers. hope it helps

Hey. In Python you don't need to explicitly declare your variable, just assign some information to that variable name and Python understands the type. For example, a = "blabla". Python understands variable a have a string data. If b = "7" so it's also a string just like "blabla". You can't do any math with strings (don't consider concatenation or copying as math operations). If you want to add variable b to the integer 8, you can't. They're two different types. It's the same thing you're trying to add "blabla" to 8 or one orange to one hammer. So if you can, you convert variable b to integer and now you can add to 8. Python always expects from input function a string, so if you wanna do some math with value, convert it float or integer. Hope it helps.
