In the Python Basics quiz that asks us to convert user input from string to integer I wrote:
age = int(input("What is your age? "))
I get a response saying that it is the wrong answer. What am I doing wrong here?

18,705 PointsHi Vineet,
What you've got is the right answer, I couldn't tell you why it says it is incorrect, I can only recommend you try it again, maybe check case-sensitivity and make sure you have no white space. This may cause the test to fail.
Hope this helps!

Treehouse Moderator 145,858 PointsHey Vineet,
I'm not sure why it is coming up wrong. Could be a glitch in that one instance, or you somehow added whitespace or a character that wasn't needed.
int is correct answer and passed the quiz when I just tried. Give it another shot. :)

6,609 PointsThank you gentlemen for such a prompt response. I am still haven't passed the quiz unfortunately. In the input field, I entered
int(
the quiz failed. Then I entered
int()
thinking maybe it needs just the function itself, the quiz still failed. At last, I entered the whole line
int(input("What is your age? "))
of course it failed. I am starting to feel very stupid.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHave you tried only int as Jason Anders mentioned? Only those 3 letters. It's ok if there's a space afterwards.
The left parenthesis is already there after the input field so you don't want to put it in again by entering int (

before the
input()
statement.
