[Solved] TypeError: '<=' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'

Problem: 

I am learning python. While doing practice I was trying to create a voting system to select the best dancer in the class between 25 dancers using the list. FYI, I am using python3. 

This is my code: 

dancers= [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
vote = 0
cont = 0
while(vote >= 0 and vote <24):
    vote = input('Enter the dancer you wish to vote for')
    if (0 < vote <=25):
        dancers[vote +1] += 1;cont +=1
    else:
        print('Something went wrong, try again')

And this is the error I am getting:

TypeError: '<=' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'

So in this article, we are going to learn how to solve this problem.

Solution: 

So when you get the input from the console you are getting a string. That's why you are getting the error. To solve this you can cast that input string to an int object to do numerical operations. 

Change this: 

 vote = input('Enter  dancer you wish to vote for')

To this: 

 vote = int(input('Enter the dancer you wish to vote for'))
