• how can read inputs integers? 14 answers

could please me understand why program doesn't output 'well done!' after input 1? thank you.

while true:     o=input("enter 1:")     if o==1:         break print("well done!") 

it looks you're using python3.x.

on python3.x, input always returns instance of str, o never equal 1 since you're comparing different types (str , int).
