atom = int(input("Please submit a number (1-10): ")) print("\nIs that your lucky number?" if (atom <= 10 and atom >= 1) else "Your submission was invalid.") The ".lower()" method used is not used with numbers. Why would you try to convert a number to "lowercase"? Also, you're storing the input as a string, versus an integer.

That's because input returns a string. You have to convert it to integer to be able to compare it to other integers (range elements). Try: atom = int(input("choose a number from 1-10! "))
