My python code does not run the next line

Question

Hi I'm trying to make some quiz programs but my code is stuck in input()

print("나라 퀴즈에 오신 여러분들을 환영합니다!\n이 퀴즈에서 여러분들은 국기를 보고 나라 이름을 맞추시면 됩니다!")
print("------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------")
print("\n1. 아메리카\n2. 아프리카\n3. 유럽\n4. 아시아\n5. 오세아니아\n6. 모든 나라\n")
continent=input("어느 대륙의 퀴즈를 맞출 건지 선택해주세요: ")

if(continent==1):
    quizamerica()

my code does not run after line if(continent==1) and just stops the program after line continent=input("어느 대륙의 퀴즈를 맞출 건지 선택해주세요: ")

Help me please.

I'd advise you to print the value of `continent` to make debugging easier. But my guess is that perhaps continent is a string and `"1"==1` is `False` — lucidbrot, May 31 '20 at 11:54
@ingvar or even better, just use python 3. Note, if you use raw_input in python 2, it will fail like if you use input in python 3... they are equivalent. — juanpa.arrivillaga, May 31 '20 at 11:55
`input` returns the inputted string. I think you are trying to check if there was an input... you can check the length of `continent` rather than checking if it is equal to `1`. — Swetank Poddar, May 31 '20 at 11:55
thanks for all you guys. I could finally solve this problem thanks to all of you — Kim Jeongsu, Jun 01 '20 at 12:18

The input() function returns a string. Try if(continent == '1').

Or, better yet, `if continent == '1':` since python syntax doesn't require `()` here. – John Coleman May 31 '20 at 11:58
