Help converting int to str value in loop statement

[Jrvelandia]

Good evening

The issue i'm trying to solve with this program is I need to convert the code on line 23 to a str value "end" in order to display the average scores.

Thank you very much in advance.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43

#!/usr/bin/env python3   # display a welcome message print("The Test Scores program") print() print("Enter test scores") print("Enter 'end' to end input") print("====================") # get scores from the user   # initialize the variable for accumulating scores counter = 0 score_total = 0 test_score = 0   choice = "y" while choice.lower() == "y":     test_score = int(input("Enter test score: "))     if test_score >= 0 and test_score <= 100:         score_total += test_score         counter += 1           elif test_score == 999:         average_score = round(score_total / counter)         print("======================")         print("Total Score:  ", score_total,       "\nAverage Score:", average_score)         print()         choice = input("Enter another set of test scores (y/n):")         if choice =="n":             break         print()         print("Enter test scores")         print("Enter 'end' to end input")         print("====================")         counter = 0         score_total = 0         test_score = 0         continue     else:         print("test score must be from 0 through 100. Try again.")           print("Bye")

read the input as a string, first, and check for "end". then if it might be a number, convert to whatever you need to do your calculation.
