Python Development Techdegree Student 2,452 PointsMy code doesn't work even though it's same as the solution provided
name = input("Please enter your name: ")
number = input("Please enter a number: ")
print('Hi {}!\nThe number {}...'.format(name, number))
is_fizz = number%3 == 0
is_buzz = number%5 == 0
if is_fizz and is_buzz:
print('is a FizzBuzz number.')
elif is_fizz:
print('is a fizz number.')
elif is_buzz:
print('is a buzz number')
else: print('is neither a fizzy or a buzzy number.')
I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/smemo/OneDrive/Desktop/fizzbuzz.py", line 27, in <module> is_fizz = number%3 == 0 TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

number = int(input("Please enter a number: ")) # "int" converts string to number
