Why I am getting error as "not all arguments converted during string formatting" during this python code?

Question

n = input("Enter your number: ")
if n%2 != 0:
    print("Weird")
elif n%2 == 0:
    if n>1 and n<6:
        print("Not weird")
    elif n>=6 and n<=20:
        print("Weird")
    elif n>20:
        print("Not Weird")

While running this code I got the error message. I could not find the reason.

You forgot to convert `n` to a number. When applied to a string, `%` is the substitution operator, not the remainder. — DYZ, Aug 01 '21 at 19:14

The problem is that you didn't convert your input to integer.

so instead of calculating remainder of n by 2. , You are get into string formatting in line if n%2 != 0:

The old way of formatting string was :

name = 'John'
print('hi %s' % name )

SorusH is right, you didn't convert your input to integer, you should try something like

n = int(input("Enter your number: "))

to convert the input into an integer
