title: How do you input integers using input in Python
body: <p>I'm trying to teach myself how to code in Python and this is my first time posting to Stack Overflow, so please excuse any improprieties in this post. But let's get right to it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to use the input command to return an integer. I've done my research, too, so below are my multiple attempts in Python 3.4 and the results that follow:</p>
  
  <h1>Attempt #1</h1>
  
  <pre><code>guess_row = int(input("Guess Row: "))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get back the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "&lt;input&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; 
  ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'Guess Row: 2`
  </code></pre>
  
  <h1>Attempt #2</h1>
  
  <pre><code>guess_row = float(input("Guess Row: "))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get back the following: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "&lt;input&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  ValueError: could not convert string to float: "Guess Row: 2""
  </code></pre>
  
  <h1>Attempt #3</h1>
  
  <pre><code>try:
      guess_row=int(input("Guess Row: "))
  except ValueError:
      print("Not an integer")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here, I get back the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Guess Row: 2
  Not an integer
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Although it returns something, I know this is wrong because, for one, the input returns as a string and it also returns the print command.</p>
  
  <p>Point being, I've tried int, float, and try, and so far nothing has worked. Any suggestions? I just want to be able to input an integer and have it returned as one. </p>
