simple if fail, what am I missing?

[ajkrueger25]

solution = 7
answer = input ("What is 5 + 2?")
if answer == solution:
   print("You are correct!")
   print (f"Your answer was {answer}")
   print (f"and the solution is {solution}")
else:
   print("You are not correct")
   print (f"Your answer was {answer}")
   print (f"and the solution is {solution}")

You would think that entering a 7 for the answer would get a print of 'You are Correct!,
but it always comes up like this:

Output:
$ python ex4-1.py
What is 5 + 2?7
You are not correct
Your answer was 7
and the solution is 7

What am I missing?

You need to convert the input to an int or make 7 a string

Output:
What is 5 + 2?: 7
solution is type <class 'int'>
answer is type <class 'str'>

I tried that and got

Error:
    solution is type <class 'int'>
                      ^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

but did this

solution = str(7)

and it worked.
