If else not working

Question

I'm trying to make a simple program where I'm asking to user to put name and age and after that using if else to print the result.

I want when is put age 20 so result should come

Congratulation Edit your age is 20 and you can find the truth

but It is not working here is the code which I'm using.

Code

name = input("what is your name \n")
print('Nice to meet you', name, "!!")
age = input("Your Age ? \n")

if age > 18:
    print('Congratulation ' + name + ' your age is '+ str(age), ' and you can find the truth ')
else:
    print('Sorry ' + name + 'your age is '+ str(age), ' and you can also find the truth if you start from today')

and error which I'm getting after running my code.

Error

what is your name 
Edit
Nice to meet you Edit !!
Your Age ? 
20
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/hp/PycharmProjects/Project/input_user.py", line 5, in <module>
    if age > 18:
TypeError: unorderable types: str() > int()

Help me out here to resolve this problem.

`if int(age)` is correct – ᴀʀᴍᴀɴ Jan 06 '16 at 13:52 — ᴀʀᴍᴀɴ, Jan 06 '16 at 13:52

Read the error message:

TypeError: unorderable types: str() > int()

You are trying to compare a string and an integer. You have to convert the input to int first:

age = int(input("Your Age ? \n"))

This will allow you to compare it with numbers.

Alternatively, convert it when you need to compare with numbers

if int(age) > 18:

But this is really more of a usability issue now. It would be better to simply convert it to int as soon as you get it, as age you probably need the numerical value more than the string value.

Well it answers the question... Therefore it is technically an answer. You could have posted an answer too. – Arc676 Jan 06 '16 at 13:55

Not all answers have to be long :) As long as it's correct, answers the question, and is helpful (or, as the up-vote prompt says, "useful"). When the problem is caused by something as simple as type conversion, there isn't _that_ much to say. – Arc676 Jan 06 '16 at 13:57
