For students or programmers, the use of the functions is very familiar. Depending on the different programming language, there will be different functions. In this article, we will bring you useful information about the int () function and how to handle it when encountering the error “Typeerror: ‘int’ object is not callable“. Let’s scroll down and get started on encountering the key right now!

What is the int() function?

As we all know, int is an integer data type in python, and the int () function has the function of converting data types to the int.

Syntax:

int(value, base)

In there:

Value: Number or string to be converted into an integer

Base: The number represents the number format. The default value: 10

The return result will be an integer or will return 0 when there is no parameter. 

For example:

# int() with an integer value

print("the key is:", int(12))

output:

the key is: 12

What is “Typeerror: ‘int’ object is not callable” and what causes it?

This is an error because in the process of declaration, you have named the variable with the name of the int () function, so the system cannot recognize your command and send the error message “Typeerror: ‘int’ object. is not callable “. To help you visualize the error more easily, we give the example below.

This is a program using the int () function:

int = 0

c = int(input('the first is: '))

d = int(input('the second is: '))

print("Before Swapping: c={} and d={}".format(c, d))

int = c

c = d

d = int

print("After Swapping: c={} and d={}".format(c, d))

output:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File “D:/PycharmProjects/pythonProject1/int object not callable.py”, line 2, in

c = int(input(‘the first is.: ‘))

TypeError: ‘int’ object is not callable

Causes:

If you have the same situation as above, the main cause of the error is that you have declared the name that coincides with the name of a function in Python such as int (), sum () …

How to fix it?

In this case, the simplest way to solve the error is to replace the variable name with another name and it is different from any function name in Python.  

For the above example, we changed “int” into “kimt” to turn not coincided with the name of the function. Here’s how to handle the above example:

kimt = 0

c = int(input('the first is: '))

d = int(input('the second is: '))

print("Before Swapping: c={} and d={}".format(c, d))

kimt= c

c = d

d = kimt

print("After Swapping: c={} and d={}".format(c, d))

output:

the first is: 2

the second is:3

Before Swapping: c=2 and d=3

After Swapping: c=3 and d=2

There is also another cause that can cause the above error that you do not fully record the operators in your calculation when writing the program. The solution is to check the calculations and add full operator signs.
