Need help with "unsupported operand type(s)"
#1
I am starting to learn python and I cannot figure out the following error "unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'int'". Remember, I really don't know what I am to do here. Below is my code and error. Thanks ahead for any help in understanding what I don't know.

PUT CODE HERE
# list of names ---
ListOfNames = ["tom" , "bill" , "dick", "harry"]
print(ListOfNames)

# remove one name ---
RemoveNameNumber = input ("Enter the number of the name to remove: ")
print ("Verify number selected is " + str(RemoveNameNumber))

# name to be removed ---
NameRemoved = ListOfNames[RemoveNameNumber -1]
print("Name removed will be " + NameRemoved)
error:
Error:
11 # name to be removed --- ---> 12 NameRemoved = ListOfNames[RemoveNameNumber -1] 13 print("Name removed will be " + NameRemoved) 14 TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'int'
One more thing, if this is not the right way to post, please advise. Thanks
