I am trying to make a program that uses text files to sort items using a barcode scanner...but the if statement is not working. You have 2 options:

  1. create new barcode or
  2. scan an existing barcode

but if I put the number in it does not work can anyone please help?

    The `input()` statement returns a string, but you are comparing it to an integer. – John Anderson Jan 17 '20 at 23:14

Wrapping an int() around your input() should fix your problem.
