title: python asking age and comparing to eli statements
body: <p>New to programming and starting on the book automate the boring stuff in the book there is a part of code that mentions to ask a person's name and if it is not a specific name to check the person's age and depending on the age one of three things happens. The problem is the book doesn't go over the input part of it. I can get the name okay but I cannot get it to allow me to input the age as an integer and then match those integers against my elif statements. What am I doing wrong, note that without the  if age &lt; int(12) I am told that you cannot compare str and int values and the code errors out. Any help is greatly appreciate it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    print('What is your name?')
      name=input()
      if name == 'Alice':
         print('Hi,Alice.')
      elif name != 'Alice':
          print('How old you is?????')
          age=input()
          int(age)
          age=int(age)
    if age &lt; int(12):
      print('You are not Alice,kiddo.')
   elif age &gt; int(2000):
      print('Unlike you, Alice is not an undead, immortal vampire.')
   elif age &gt; 100:
      print('You are not Alice, grannie.')
