Your int(alpha) isn't doing anything. You need to assign it to a variable. Or rather, a cleaner approach is to wrap the input() call with it.

alpha = int(input())

You're not saving the int(alpha) in alpha, so the variable is still holding the value of the input as a String value.

change that line:

alpha = int(alpha)

You should call input() first and imagine that it is the thing user inputted. Then make the input an integer by using this: alpha = int(input())
