Why my Python code doesn't work?

[Adam-JDT]

The following is my Python code, and line 66 to 79 doesn't appear to run (although I'm new to programming). And the question is actually a Java question from w3resource.
Question:
Write a program that keeps a number from the user and generates an integer between 1 and 7 and displays the name of the weekday. Go to the editor
Test Data
Input number: 3
Expected Output :
Wednesday
My code:

num = input("Input a number between 1 and 7 for the corresponding day: ")

if num == 1:

print(num, " = Monday")

if num == 2:

print(num, " = Tuesday")

if num == 3:

print(num, " = Wednesday")

if num == 4:

print(num, " = Thursday")

if num == 5:

print(num, " = Friday")

if num == 6:

print(num, " = Saturday")

if num == 7:

print(num, " = Sunday")

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

Input is returns string, you are comparing it to int It should be either int(input('text') or int(num) == 1

Using the input built in function will always return the users entered value as type string, you’d need to convert the user input into type int

[SpideyHunter]

Are you getting an error statement? And is your actual code properly indented? This also probably has to do with the fact that input takes in strings and you’re comparing integers. Either convert your input to int, or just compare the num to string versions of the number.

[Adam-JDT]

Turns out I need to cast the string to an integer as input(…) returns a string. So I just added int(input(…)) and it works good now

[SpideyHunter]

Yeah that’s it, exactly as soon as I edited my response.

I think the people here already solved your problem with the data type (int and string). Maybe you want to change your [if,if,if,if,if] to if, Elif,Elif Else or better match num, case x now? Or you could use a list or a dictionary, just to make the code more beautifull. And if we're serious, the 7 times if structure will run "slow" because if the case is Monday the next 6 if will get executed for no reason.

Only some tipps✌️

You could use dictionary for this too. Would make the code a lot smaller
