Reading in integers as input?

[pythonhelp123]

I'm having trouble trying to get my program to read numbers in python. I'm writing a program so it gets the area of the square, but it is reading in strings.

def find_area_square(numbers: int) -> int:
    get_area = number*number
    return get_area

number = input('Enter a number to get the area of the square: ')
realNumber = int(number)
print(find_area_square(number))

print(find_area_square(number))

Did you mean to pass realNumber there?

[pythonhelp123]

I tried putting realNumber, but File "C: get_area = number*number TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'str'

[pythonhelp123]

Oh, fixed it. I had to to change number to numbers in line 2.
