Difference between int() and int(input())

Question

If I type int(6.5) on the interpreter prompt, the output is 6.

If I type int(input()), and give 6.5 as an input, then it gives an error:

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '6.5'

What is happening here?

`int(6.5)` is different to `int('6.5')` – jonrsharpe Apr 06 '20 at 18:12 — jonrsharpe, Apr 06 '20 at 18:12

Input() function takes string as input. It is equivalent to doing int('6.5') which is different from int(6.5) -> Casting double/float to int.
