I need age to be an integer. What do I need to add? This was my answer age = int((input("What is your age? "))

I need age to be an integer. What do I need to add?

This was my answer and it was returned incorrect. Any suggestions?

age = (input("What is your age? "))

Uh... the answer is in the headline. Input in Python 3 converts everything to a string so you need to add the int function to make it into an integer if that that's your thing. So, you would need to make it age = int((input("What's is your age? ")) to get an integer for the age.
