Problem with if statement within if statement as well as the len(varriable) won't count a int in the string if its single digit

[kind ledge]

show us your code

[blissful hatch]

did that do it?

[kind ledge]

input always returns a string, so if weeks == 1 will never be true

you need to convert it into an int using int

weeks = int(input("How many weeks did you work?"))

[blissful hatch]

gotcha thats super helpful

what about the line 50

and the single digit number

is because I also need to change the numbers into an int?

[kind ledge]

well, what does it mean to take the len of a number

[blissful hatch]

is it the number of digits

it gives u an int value based on how many strings there are in the varriable yeah

well items I think like strings bool and int

[kind ledge]

if you want to get the number of digits in a number, the simplest way is to convert it to a str and take its len

!e

x = 538
print("number of digits is:", len(str(x)))

:white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

number of digits is: 3

[blissful hatch]

I want the amount of int that were inputed. so if I inputed 10, 5, 60, 4 it should show up as 4 I thought but instead it is showing up as 2

[kind ledge]

you're confusing your variables...

total_hours = input("What was the total number of hours worked in one week?")
total hours is each individual input, not the list of all inputs

[blissful hatch]

oh biscuits

if you inputed total hours as 12 though and did the len command it would show up as 1 yes?

[kind ledge]

len on what

[blissful hatch]

I think im understanding. So my numbers are they going into the variables as int rather than strings hence why the len command is counting them

[kind ledge]

I don't think that's quite the problem...
