Can't change a string back to an integer in Python 3 -


def get_time():     start_time = str(input("please enter time started working (hh:mm) "))     if ":" in start_time:         h1, m1 = start_time.split(":")     else:         h1 = int(start_time)         m1 = " "     if h1 < 8:         print("you can't start working until 08:00.")     elif h1 > 23:         print("you can't work past 24:00 (midnight) ")     end_time = str(input("please enter time stopped working (hh:mm) "))  get_time() 

here's code program i'm making take in times babysitted. i'm having trouble turning string numbers integer. error:

  file "/applications/python 3.4/babysitting.py", line 10, in get_time     if h1 < 8: typeerror: unorderable types: str() < int() 

why isn't h1 = int(start_time) working?

why isn't h1 = int(start_time) working?

that line isn't being executed @ when have : character in input:

if ":" in start_time:     h1, m1 = start_time.split(":") else:     h1 = int(start_time)     m1 = " " 

the int(start_time) executed only when there no : in input, when if test false.

separate splitting , integer conversion:

h1 = start_time if ":" in start_time:     h1 = start_time.split(":")[0] h1 = int(h1)
