There are many possibilities, see

Welcome! You have a lot of great questions. Tell your brother to relax.
First off, Python is a great first language because it was written

I dun understand the mistake. My aim is to accept an integer number. The
python lookup in IDLE asks for a string object but the interpreter returns
with the following error message. Some one pls explain.
Thank You

Dear Pythonistas
Over a year ago I dabbled in learning Python, working my way through a
few tutorials, the Deitel's "How to program in Python" and Hetland's
"Practical Python", until I came across the OOP sections. My mind just
froze up, and I found myself wondering if I had really understood

Yes, with probably a try/except block and a while loop around it to
handle invalid input.
There are two good reasons for doing this instead of using input:
- it guarantees that the

If you translate C or Java code into python you will usually
get a less than optimal implementation. Python should be
barely slower than Java and often faster. Compared
