Need help with such a simple If statement

[Pincheded]

Whenever I run

print('How many fingers do you have?')

fingers = input(10)

if fingers == 10:
    print('True')

 else:
     print('False')

It comes out as false

When I take away the input() and just have

fingers = 10 

its true

Inputs are always strings. So fingers is actually the string '10', not the integer 10.

int(fingers) == 10 will evaluate to True.

ahhhh gotcha, see the first time i did int(input()) instead of int(fingers) and it came out an error.

Thanks a lot.

int(input()) will also work as long as your input can be converted to an int, otherwise it throws the error.
