![Typeerror: 'Str' Object Cannot Be Interpreted as an Integer [Duplicate]](https://docuprint.cloud68.co/uploads/typeerror-str-object-cannot-be-interpreted-as_1200.jpg)
I don't understand what the problem is with the code, it is very simple so this is an easy one.
x = input("Give starting number: ")
y = input("Give ending number: ")
for i in range(x,y):
print(i)
It gives me an error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python33/harj4.py", line 6, in <module>
for i in range(x,y):
TypeError: 'str' object cannot be interpreted as an integer
As an example, if x is 3 and y is 14, I want it to print
Give starting number: 4
Give ending number: 13
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
What is the problem?

A simplest fix would be:
x = input("Give starting number: ")
y = input("Give ending number: ")
x = int(x) # parse string into an integer
y = int(y) # parse string into an integer
for i in range(x,y):
print(i)
input returns you a string (raw_input in Python 2). int tries to parse it into an integer. This code will throw an exception if the string doesn't contain a valid integer string, so you'd probably want to refine it a bit using try/except statements.
You are getting the error because range() only takes int values as parameters.
Try using int() to convert your inputs.
x = int(input("Give starting number: "))
y = int(input("Give ending number: "))
for i in range(x, y):
print(i)
This outputs:
x = int(input("Give starting number: "))
y = int(input("Give ending number: "))
P.S. Add function int()
I'm guessing you're running python3, in which input(prompt) returns a string. Try this.
x=int(input('prompt'))
y=int(input('prompt'))
You have to convert input x and y into int like below.
x=int(x)
y=int(y)
You will have to put:
X = input("give starting number")
X = int(X)
Y = input("give ending number")
Y = int(Y)
Or you can also use eval(input('prompt')).
