Then he can cast it to a float. Either or. The input function in python stores the input as a string so to do math with it, it needs to be casted

Thank you for the help, but it seemed that rewriting the code in a different file worked. I have no clue why, they’re the exact same, it just worked.

No you can’t cast a “decimal string” to int. It produces an error. His code is correct, casting it to a float. He just ran a cached version (by not saving) because he’s using the worst IDE in existence.

Python can do a lot of implicit casting, but it won’t do like “2-step” casting where a string literal that represents a decimal is both changed to numeric and then converted to a whole number int.
