It is really strange that when in my code, when I make the line, that asks about number of tickets user wanna buy : t_request = input("How many tickets would you like to buy? ") t_request = int(t_request)
... and when I start playing around it and type some random float number instead of an integer, lets say (4.5), It pops out ValueError for me when python runs the code, but when I do the exact same thing in python shell - int(4.5), it outputs to me "4" as it should, without giving me any errors, I know that noone ever will type a float number in the t_request line, but I am really confused about why that happens.

The equivalent of int(t_request) would be int("4.5") (with quotes).
