Hey Daniel,

the quiz wants to know how you turn the input value into an integer. To do that you use the int function with the input as an argument. So the only thing you have to write here is int .

I hope that helps! :)

Hey Daniel

so int is used to change numbers in a string to be recognized by python as integers. so since 22 is already and integer int is not needed. However if I for example have my_string = "22" and I want to make that an integer I can use int to do this my_number = int(my_string), will make the 22 an int. You do need parentheses you can not just say int 22. 22 will likely also need a variable to hold it.
