When you use the input in Python the result will be a string. To make it a number put Int() around it.

Remember Python is case-sensitive, the i in int needs to be lowercase.

Thanks for adding that. Never used it so wouldn’t know lol. Thats what happens when a JS dev answered a python question (looking at you Number())
