Reading a Number

input() always gives you back text, even if the user types digits — "7" isn't the same as the number 7 to Python. To turn it into a real number you can do math with later, wrap it in int():

age = int(input())
print(age)

This pattern — int(input()) — is one you'll use constantly from here on.

Your turn: read a number using int(input()) and print it back.
