Hi there stranger. What's your name? Lidia
What year were you born?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "age_calc.py", line 7, in <module>
birth_year = int(birth_year)
TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'NoneType'

Did you by any chance forgot While True thingy? I'm also just learning, same as you, but I did not receive this error and if I read your error message correctly there is some kind of problem with the Truthiness of your input?

I can be wrong.
