Super Beginner Code Confusion

Question

n = input("What is your number")
if n > 0:
    print("It's Bigger Than 0")
else:
    print("It's smaller than 0")

why does this give an error TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'

You need to convert your input to an integer: `n = int(input("What is your number"))` — Christian Dean, Oct 31 '17 at 00:05

Change the first line to:

n = int(input("What is your number"))

In Python 3, input always returns a string.

@smac89 I think some people downvote answers to duplicate questions, even though I answered before it was marked as a duplicate. – Tom Karzes Oct 31 '17 at 03:20
