python to treat the input as numerical value the int(function converts string representation of number to numerical representationas shown hereage input("how old are you"how old are you age int(ageage > true in this examplewhen we enter at the promptpython interprets the number as stringbut the value is then converted to numerical representation by int( now python can run the conditional testit compares age (which now contains the numerical value and to see if age is greater than or equal to this test evaluates to true how do you use the int(function in an actual programconsider program that determines whether people are tall enough to ride roller coasterrollercoaster py height input("how tall are youin inches"height int(heightif height > print("\nyou're tall enough to ride!"elseprint("\nyou'll be able to ride when you're little older "the program can compare height to because height int(heightconverts the input value to numerical representation before the comparison is made if the number entered is greater than or equal to we tell the user that they're tall enoughhow tall are youin inches you're tall enough to ridewhen you use numerical input to do calculations and comparisonsbe sure to convert the input value to numerical representation first the modulo operator useful tool for working with numerical information is the modulo operator (%)which divides one number by another number and returns the remainder
