python3 In python how to you have this happen

My brothers birthday is tomorrow this so this is urgent.

You need to convert the string from input to an int first before you can subtract it from a int.

I dont know how just started python

The problem is that your program thinks that "year" is a word (string, or str for short), not a number (integer, int for short).

 

You can't take a word and subtract 2023 from it. That's why you get the error

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'int' and 'str'

 

We can solve this by converting your string to an integer. Python includes a function called int() that can do this. What you do is call the function and pass it the string you want to be converted.

I want you to try and fix this issue using the int() function and come back with an updated script.

Please remember that you need to save the converted variable as well.

 

 

This feels like homework so I hope nobody posts the right answer for you. Even if it is for your brother's birthday I feel like you figuring it out by yourself makes the experience far more rewarding and special.

As I said, you need to convert from a string to an integer. The function int() does this in Python. You pass the variable you want to be converted into an integer into the function, and then it spits out a converted variable for you.

 

If I had a variable called money and wanted it converted from a string to an integer, I would type this:

money = int(money)

 

int takes whatever is inside the (), and converts it into an integer. The "money = int()" part catches the output and saves it into the variable "money".

Bit late, but what people are saying is you need to convert the string to int.

 

So

age = 2023 - int(year)

Admittedly small code projects like this ChatGPT can also really help in speed of development
