I'm currently learning Python programming language, and currently working on Control Flows.. I have this issues, if I can't figure out a problem, I just get stuck there. I'm working on an exercise to give me the data type of an input.

Here's a code I did that worked

data = 11
type(data)
if type(data) == str:
print( "It's a string" )
elif type(data) == int:
print("It's an integer" )

print(type(typed))


The output is
Its a number


Now my problem, I want to use a raw input, it prompts the user to type in something, it then determines if it's a string or integer

I used raw_input=("Enter something : " )


But my output no matter what I input is always converted to string

And ideas for me?

p= input(" please input data:"
if not p.isdigit(): print (" this is a integer data type" , p) else: print(" this is string data type", p)
NOTE: p is the variable name isdigit is a string method
Remember, you can iterate it in a loop like while True: p= input(" please input data:"
if not p.isdigit(): print (" this is a integer data type" , p) else: print(" this is string data type", p) enjoy...

don't use raw_input() it is outdated for python 3x input() is used

Yeah, thanks I just found out too..

pavicky:
p= input(" please input data:"

if not p.isdigit():
print (" this is a integer data type" , p)
else:
print(" this is string data type", p)

NOTE: p is the variable name
isdigit is a string method

Remember, you can iterate it in a loop like
while True:
p= input(" please input data:"

if not p.isdigit():
print (" this is a integer data type" , p)
else:
print(" this is string data type", p)
enjoy...

Thanks, it works... Except for the if not p.isdigoit should have a print statement of string type will the else that's the integer.. buh thanks.. Python is getting more interesting

Raw_input and input always returns a string
