Question

I was trying a simple piece of code, get someone’s name and age and let him/her know when they turn 21… not considering negatives and all that, just random.

I keep getting this 'int' object is not subscriptable error.

name1 = raw_input("What's your name? ")
age1 = raw_input ("how old are you? ")
x = 0
int([x[age1]])
twentyone = 21 - x
print "Hi, " + name1+ " you will be 21 in: " + twentyone + " years."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[34], line 4
      2 age1 = input ("how old are you? ")
      3 x = 0
----> 4 int([x[age1]])
      5 twentyone = 21 - x
      6 print "Hi, " + name1+ " you will be 21 in: " + twentyone + " years."

TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable

Answer 1

The problem is in the line,

int([x[age1]])

What you want is

x = int(age1)

You also need to convert the int to a string for the output…

print "Hi, " + name1+ " you will be 21 in: " + str(twentyone) + " years."

The complete script looks like,

name1 = raw_input("What's your name? ")
age1 = raw_input ("how old are you? ")
x = 0
x = int(age1)
twentyone = 21 - x
print "Hi, " + name1+ " you will be 21 in: " + str(twentyone) + " years."
