Answer 1

Hi, Goodness Ogunlana!
Because what you gives as argument to the input function ( x = input(int()) ) become a promt for input.

And you gave int() as a argument to the input function, which return 0.

This is a bit tricky to see in SoloLearns app, when you make your inputs in a box.

So input promts first 0, and then you inputed 5. But 5 is not converted to an integer; it’s still a string, so your if statements condition (if x == 5:) becomes False and it prints ”No”. So it becoms:
0No

Answer 2

x = int(input())
