Ignore what people are saying about school assignments. We are allowed to help you in a way that lets you learn what you are supposed to be learning.

In this case, it’s probably a scope issue. Variables have a scope in which they can be accessed.

In Python, variables declared outside of a function are available inside that function to be referenced, but not changed.

Here’s a really good article on it: Python Scope & the LEGB Rule: Resolving Names in Your Code – Real Python

It’s good practice to not add str() and int() on to everything
