Converting String to Integer Python

[Johnny1998]

int('1') does not change the value a is assigned to. It creates a new value and converts that. You need to reassign the new value to a. And you should convert a, not a new value, to make sure it works if the value of a is changed.

Thanks! This helped.

To solve the problem, I simply did as ichabod801 instructed. I changed the code

a = "1"
b = 2
int("1") 
print(a + b)

to this code:

a = "1"
b = 2
a = int("1") 
print(a + b)

Thanks Again!
