Hey there,

I'm learning Python for 52 weeks of code, and this is going to be my submission. Sadly, it's not working. It's reading the input() as a string, which is STRANGE because I'm entering numbers. I'm using Python 3.0.1 so for some reason raw_input() doesn't work. Is there a way to force it to read input() as an int?

Code:

number = input('Enter a number, and I will print all prime numbers below it: ')
up = 5
while up <= number:
	  whileup = 2
	  isPrime = False
	  while whileup < number:
			if number%whileup!=0:
				  whileup = whileup + 1
			elif number%whileup==0:
				  break
			elif whileup > (number/2):
				  isPrime = True
				  break
	  if isPrime == True:
			print ("Prime Number: ", number)
			isPrime = False
	  number = number + 1

Please excuse any obvious efficiency problems. This is my first Python code ever.

You could try wrapping your input() call in a call to int(), to cast it as an integer - don't forget to catch the exception if it fails.

Not a big problem. You should know that in python 3k, raw_input and input have been replaced by input. input by default will always yield a string. As girasquid said, you can cast it to an integer. the line written in that format will look like this:

number = int(input('Enter a number, and I will print all prime numbers below it: '))
