What if the person writes out the number instead? It breaks the code, but how can I make it work even if these happen?

Your question needs more information for anyone to be able to understand it. You might want include pieces of sample code to give us a better idea of what you are talking about.

I'm assuming at this point you're writing code that takes in user input. It sounds like something that could be solved by writing an exception handler or some basic conditional code that checks for an integer when a string is expected.

There are also methods that can parse a number given as a string and return it as an integer.
