Your mistake in line3, 5: Fixed👇: lst = ['#',1,3,'*',4] num = [] for n in lst: if type(n) == int: num.append(n) print(num)

My solution is a bit different. #How to fix this error so that num = [1,3,4] ? lst = ['#',1,3,'*',4] nums = [] for i in lst: i = str(i) if i.isdigit(): nums.append(int(i)) print(nums)

Anyways to get the answer you need to use try and except where while iterating you try to convert a value into an int if it fails then you except that and continue. since 1,2 and 4 would be able to get converted cause they already are int's it will work and give you the desired output. here is the code: lst = ['#',1,3,'*',4] num=[] for n in lst: try: num.append(int(n)) except: continue print(num)

Alternative using list comprehension num = [ e for e in lst if type(e) is int ]

This isn't possible as you cant use type() to iterate something
