sumall   summ   sumd   sumy   Your sumall is an integer  If you want the individual characters from it  convert it to a string first

The error is exactly what it says it is  you re trying to take sumall 0  when sumall is an int and that doesn t make any sense   What do you believe sumall should be

User · Answer

You can t do something like that   int sumall 0   int sumall 1     That s because sumall is an int and not a list or dict   So  summ   sumd will be you re lucky number

Just to be clear  all the answers so far are correct  but the reasoning behind them is not explained very well   The sumall variable is not yet a string  Parentheticals will not convert to a string  e g  summ    int birthday 0   int birthday 1    still returns an integer  It looks like you most likely intended to type str  int sumall 0   int sumall 1      but forgot to  The reason the str   function fixes everything is because it converts anything in it compatible to a string

Try this instead   sumall   summ   sumd   sumy print  The sum of your numbers is   sumall sumall   str sumall    add this line sumln    int sumall 0   int sumall 1    print  Your lucky number is   sumln   sumall is a number  and you can t access its digits using the subscript notation  sumall 0   sumall 1    For that to work  you ll need to transform it back to a string

If you want to sum the digit of a number  one way to do it is using sum     a generator expression   sum int i  for i in str 155     I modified a little your code using sum    maybe you want to take a look at it   birthday   raw input  When is your birthday mm dd yyyy      summ   sum int i  for i in birthday 0 2   sumd   sum int i  for i in birthday 3 5   sumy   sum int i  for i in birthday 6 10   sumall   summ   sumd   sumy print  The sum of your numbers is   sumall sumln   sum int c  for c in str sumall    print  Your lucky number is   sumln
