title: Python 2.7 raw_input
body: <pre><code>age = raw_input("How old are you? ")
  print(age)
  if age&gt;= 18:
      print("You can vote!")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am running this code on python 2.7. I was expecting to get an error but I didn't. I thought variable age would have a string value like '21'. This way, when I compare <code>age&gt;= 18</code>, it would flag me saying you cannot compare string and int. But it did not. It ran fine.</p>
