Why isn't this code working?

[Hussein26]

First, you want to use == (double equals) for comparison, not is. Second, input returns a string, not a number. So it returns '5', which is not the same as 5. So you either want to convert the input to an integer (number = int(number)), or you want to test against a string (if number == '5':).

I feel incredibly stupid! However, I used this line of code:

number = float(input("type number here"))

#instead of

number = int(number)

#I also tried this

number = int(input("type number here"))

and it also worked. However, whats the difference between float and int? when do you use float or int?
or it doesn't matter?
