Stabilizing the error: typeerror: ‘<‘ not supported between instances of ‘str’ and ‘int’ with the best answers

  • 24

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but I’ve already lost a couple of days struggling with this. Here is my command line:

players= [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
 vote = 0
 cont = 0
 
 while(vote >= 0 and vote <23):
  vote = input('Enter the name of the player you wish to vote for')
  if (0 < vote <=24):
  players[vote +1] += 1;cont +=1
  else:
  print('Invalid vote, try again')

This returns:

TypeError: '<=' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'

I don’t have any experience with typeerror: ‘<‘ not supported between instances of ‘str’ and ‘int’. In this case, how should I change?

    The cause: When using Python3.x, this error happens because the function gets the input and converts a line to a string and then it is returned.

    Solution: To deal with this error, you need to use int method to transform string into integer like this:

    vote = int(input('Enter the name of the player you wish to vote for'))

  2. input() defaults to strings as input

    if (0<= vote <=24):

    Vote is a string input (suppose 4, 5, etc.) and becomes uncomparable.

    The correct way to vote is vote = input("Enter Your Message")will convert your input to integers ( 4 to 4, or 5 to 5, depending on which input you provide)

  3. It automatically converts the input function into a string when you use it. Here’s where you need to be:

    vote = int(input('Enter the name of the player you wish to vote for'))

    This converts the input to an int type value
