The "num" variable is not a number, it *is* a string. Just because you call it "num" doesn't magically turn it into a number. The `input` function returns a string. You might be thinking of Python 2.7 where `input` automatically evaluated the string as Python code. Python 3 does not do that. If you want to convert the string result of `input` to be a float or an int or some other type, you need to call the `float` or `int` functions. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39476> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
