When entering the age "34" it gives me the else command instead of the if command result why could this be?

cuz you converted it to int

int is not equal to string

[whole zinc]

oh really?

[distant timber]

!e

age = int("34")
print(age == "34")

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

False

[distant timber]

thats why it goes to else

[whole zinc]

Oh

Thats weird since on my laptop the script i wrote looks similar to the one i have on here and it allows me to strip the int

[distant timber]

no, you can't strip the int. The code you shared shows that your stripping the input (by default returns a string). But after the strip, you've converted it to int. So thats fine so far

Just the if statement is comparing the converted int with a string

So its a logical error

Sorry im new to python

but i can send a picture of my other script

somehow it works

[distant timber]

Yes. Notice the difference of your if statement at line 9 here

[distant timber]

vs line 8 here

[whole zinc]

OH

OHHHHH

I just realised

i apologise

Thank you so much

[distant timber]

As I said, nothing wrong with the strip
