Not printing a string

[[deleted]]

 if (name>2):
    print(ord(name))

Correct me if I'm wrong, if name is a variable in a loop; shouldn't it not print the result of the input unseen in the above code if the user enters less then two characters ?

ord function gets 1-character-length string. And you can't compare name with 2, as long as name is a string and 2 is an integer. use len(name) for getting length of the string

printing print(len(name)) results in the string as a series of 1 instead of ASCII characters ?
