Hi,
This is driving me nuts. I've passed the quiz, however, I keep retaking it because I want to know what the correct answer is and absolutely nothing I input is correct. The question goes:
Complete the following to make my string into an integer: my_int = __________ ('3')
And now, how would we convert an integer into a string? my_str = __________ (3)
Can somebody please help?
Thanks!

So to answer the first question, you should put 'int' (without the quotation marks though!) in the blank before the bracket, this converts the string '3' to the number 3.
To then convert the integer of 3 to the string of '3', it's almost the exact same; using the str() function, like in the first question, you must put 'str' in the blank (without the quotation marks again). This lets Python know you want to convert the integer to a string.
