TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'Future' and 'int' while running c-CodePudding

I have started off with learning python with the help of resources available on the internet and Think Python book by Allen B.Downey. I encountered a question which mentioned conversion of minutes to seconds. However, I am facing an error w.r.t. type of the variable min_1.

I tried converting the variable to int as well which is giving different error. Please guide!

CodePudding user response：

Remember that the outcome of input is a string. Therefore please try:

min_1 = int(input("How many minutes?"))

And then

min_to_sec = min_1 * 60

Should work correctly

CodePudding user response：

Return type of input() is string, which needs to be type casted to int, or float as per your input.

The code below works fine.

min_1 = int(input("How many minutes"))
sec = int(input("How many seconds"))

min_to_sec = min_1 * 60
total_time = min_to_sec   sec

print("Total time: ", total_time)
