python - TypeError: 'str' object cannot be interpreted as an integer despite using int() function

Question

I'm getting type error for following line:

a, b = task_one(int(input("Enter number of your choosing: "), input("Enter second number: " )))
TypeError: 'str' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

I don't understand why input is classified as a string when I enter integers and use int() function.

Answer 1

I think this is the better way when you are taking multiple inputs in single line.

a,b = list(map(int, input().split()))
