#FIRST METHOD(INCORRECT)

two_digit_number = input

number0 = two_digit_number[0]
number1 = two_digit_number[1]

int(number0)
int(number1)

result = number0 + number1
print(result)

#SECOND METHOD(CORRECT)

two_digit_number = input

number0 = two_digit_number[0]
number1 = two_digit_number[1]


result = int(number0) + int(number1)
print(result)

How does converting data types work?

  • `int(number0)` returns a converted value, and does not convert the variable in-place. So in the first example, you just ignore the result of conversion and proceed to add up the original values of `two_digit_number`. – Yevhen Kuzmovych Mar 07 '23 at 11:22

In the first method, number0 and number1 were not transformed into int properly.

yes, you called int() function on them but the variables remained the same type.

I think you could have done it this way:

two_digit_number = input

number0 = two_digit_number[0]

number1 = two_digit_number[1]

number0 = int(number0)

number1 = int(number1)

result = number0 + number1
print(result)
