Can assert throw other error types?

input is a function that always returns a string. even if the input is a digit. the type will change with int(input). but here you will be too late with an assert because if the conversion fails, the prog will dump. maybe inp = input() try: int(inp) except: Print("no integer")

assert throws assert error. assert type(num) == str , "this is a value error" but it is only a message .

Thanks Oma, but my question here was more related to assert errors, and not necessarily input. for clarity maybe this type of code would be better to ask: num = 1 assert type(num) == str this code will throw an AssertError, right? can I write the code so that I'd throws a ValueError instead?
