Input only takes strings?

digDug

So I have this code

a = input("Number 1", false)
b = input("Number 2", false)

print("The two numbers added qual ", a + b)
update()
sleep(1)

I'm just wondering how I can make it compute 1+1=2 and not 1+1=11
Does input only take strings?
Should I be using getkeyboardBuffer()?

@digdug Yes it does but you can cast the result

so something like

a = int(input("Number 1", false))

You could also use getkeyboardBuffer to read the keyboard input yourself

@pianofire I was doing the int wrong. Thank you!
