I am getting this error unsupported operand type(s) for ** or pow(): 'str' and 'int'

Question

Why I am getting this error I am creating a bmi calculator:

unsupported operand type(s) for ** or pow(): 'str' and 'int'

Code snippet:

Height= input("Enter Height in meter")
Weight= input (" Enter Weight in Kg ")
Result = int(weight)/int(height**2)
Print(result)

Answer 1

input() returns a string, which has to be converted into a number.

So like

height= int(input("Enter Height in meter"))
weight= int(input (" Enter Weight in Kg "))
result = weight/(height**2)
print(result)

Answer 2

Whatever you enter in input() gets converted into a string. You can convert height into an integer int(height)**2 or simply convert input to integer that instance int(input("Enter Height in meter"))
