When trying to answer this question for the quiz. I thought the answer would be "input(" turns out I was incorrect. I even went back to the video. Can someone show me the way please?

So input returns a string and then you need to cast it to an integer like so :
age = int(input("What is your age? "))

25,823 PointsYou're not wrong, Roland. The way the question is phrased and the code is laid out, it appears that you need to write:
int(
In the blank in order to complete the code correctly. However, after banging my head against it for a while, the answer is actually just to write int in the blank without the opening parenthese. You had the correct answer, but the formatting of the question is definitely a bit weird.
I reported the question to Treehouse, but wanted to drop this comment here so you knew how to proceed if you were still stuck.
