Can assert throw other error types?

Question

for example

assert: type(input) == str

Can i Make it throw a ValueError if the input is integer?

Answer 1

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")

Answer 2

assert throws assert error.

assert type(num) == str , "this is a value error"

but it is only a message .

Answer 3

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?
