why int() function not converting Number input into integer

Question

import datetime

def random (start,stop):

    int(start)
    print(type(start))
    print(type(stop))
    print(type(num))
  
a = input("enter")
b = input("enter")
random(a,b)

I input to numbers and then that program should convert the first number (start) into integer but it didn't . Thing I did't get is why is it showing that start variable is a string I expected it to be an integer If I'm doing it wrong can you do correction thank you

Since this is test code for stackoverflow, get rid of the prompts for input and hard code a call to random. Include the output you get and the output you want. That makes it easier to debug and include code in answers. — tdelaney

Did you notice the NameError exception that was raised when you ran this? — jackal

int() is not changing variable in-place, so you forgot to assign its output

start = int(start)
