'<=' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'

[Loom]

I've just started learning Python and I try to run a program that is written, more or less, in the book i'm using right now (Automate the boring stuff with Python). This is the code

name='' age='' print ('what is your name?') name==input() if name=='Alice': print ('hi alice') else: print ('hello stranger, what is your age?') age==input() if age <= 18: print ('come right in') else: print ('you cannot enter')

The code in the book is this:

if name == 'Alice': print('Hi, Alice.') elif age < 12: print('You are not Alice, kiddo.') elif age > 2000: print('Unlike you, Alice is not an undead, immortal vampire.') elif age > 100: print('You are not Alice, grannie.')

I know he's using the elif function, but I tried to run this as well and I get the same error. How should I write so that i don't get that error? I tried with int function in front of age input and it doesn't work.

I tried with int function in front of age input and it doesn't work.

that is exactly what you should do - convert age input (which comes as str) to int. It didn't work because you use comparison ==, not assignment =.

age = int(input())

same for the name

name = input()

name = input('what is your name? ') if name == 'Alice': print ('hi alice') else: print ('hi stranger') age = int(input('what is your age? ')) if age <= 18: print ('come right in') else: print ('you cannot enter')
