python doesn't want to convert input into an integer?-CodePudding

Python gives me an error when I try to turn an input into an integer

I wanted to make a program in Python3 that would sum up the digits of a given number. I came up with this:

x = 68328

sum=0

for digit in str(x):
    sum=sum   int(digit)

print(sum)

But I wanted to x variable to be an input. So I did this:

x = int(input)




sum=0

for digit in str(x):
    sum=sum   int(digit)

print(sum)

Unfortunately, now the program stumbles upon an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/tempCodeRunnerFile.python", line 1, in <module>
    x = int(input)
TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'builtin_function_or_method'

I dont know what to do. Ive written programs using variable = int(input) before and they worked fine.

CodePudding user response：

You missed the parentheses: use int(input()) instead.

input itself is a function, which for sure can not be converted into an integer. You need to invoke it, input(), and use its return value.

CodePudding user response：

you can try: x = int(input()).

input() can accept input, but input is only a python command.
