Invalid output in python: SyntaxError: invalid syntax in python

Question

I'm trying to execute the following code and expected to get the result of the new age. But instead, I got a syntax error. Here is my code:

age = input('Enter your age:')
new_age = int age + 10**2
print(new_age)

And here is the error:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

what does the syntax error point to?

I'm only a noob, but you need parentheses "()" around the word 'age' in your int statement new_age=int(age)+10**2

well, if you want to convert age to an int, you do it by:

new_age = int(age) + 10**2

Or better yet:

age = int(input('Enter your age:'))

what you have right now: int age is a SyntaxError

You need to move int:

age = int(input('enter age'))
new_age = age + 10**2
print(new_age)

You can also do as Tomerikoo said:

new_age = int(age) + 10**2

Either one works :)

Rereading. Clarification: int, float, ord, bin, oct, etc. are functions not statements, so you have to have the parenthesis. Sorry for not being clear :/
