You need to convert age1 into int first  so it can do the minus  After that turn the result back to string for display   name1   raw input  What s your name     age1   raw input   how old are you     twentyone   str 21 - int age1   print  Hi      name1    you will be 21 in      twentyone     years

When you type x   0 that is creating a new int variable  name  and assigning a zero to it   When you type x age1  that is trying to access the age1 th entry  as if x were an array

The problem is in the line   int  x age1      What you want is  x   int age1    You also need to convert the int to a string for the output     print  Hi      name1    you will be 21 in      str twentyone      years     The complete script looks like   name1   raw input  What s your name     age1   raw input   how old are you     x   0 x   int age1  twentyone   21 - x print  Hi      name1    you will be 21 in      str twentyone      years

It would be a lot more simple just to do this   name   input  What s your name     age   int input  How old are you      print   Hi  0  you will be 21 in  1  years   format name  21 - age

What are you trying to do here  int  x age1      It makes no sense   You just have to cast the age input as an int   name1   raw input  What s your name     age1   raw input   how old are you     twentyone   21 - int age1  print  Hi   s you will be 21 in   d years      name1  twentyone

Here is a more modern way of doing this  name1   str   input  quot What s your name   quot   age1   int   int input   quot how old are you   quot    twentyone   int   21 - age1 print  Hi      you will be 21 in     years  format name1  twentyone

int  object is not subscriptable is TypeError in Python  To better understand how this error occurs  let us consider the following example   list1    1  2  3  print list1 0  0     If we run the code  you will receive the same TypeError in Python3   TypeError   int  object is not subscriptable   Here the index of the list is out of range  If the code was modified to    print list1 0     The output will be 1 as indexing in Python Lists starts at zero   as now the index of the list is in range   1   When the code given alongside the question  is run  the TypeError occurs and it points to  line 4 of the code    int  x age1      The intention may have been to create a list of an integer number although creating a list for a single number was not at all required   What was required was that to just assign the input which in turn converted to integer  to a variable   Hence  it s better to code this way   name   input  What s your name     age   int input  How old are you      twenty one   21 - age if twenty one  lt  0       print  Hi  0   you are above 21 years   format name   elif twenty one    0       print  Hi  0   you are 21 years old   format name   else      print  Hi  0   you will be 21 years in  1  year s    format name  twenty one     The output   What s your name  Steve How old are you  21 Hi Steve  you are 21 years old

x is already integer x 0  and again you trying to make x again integer and also you gave indexing which is beyound the limit because x already has only one indexing  0  and you are trying to give indexing same as age so thats why you get this error  use this simple code name1   input  quot What s your name   quot   age1   int input   quot how old are you  quot     x 0 twentyone   str 21-age1  print  quot Hi   quot   name1   quot  you will be 21 in   quot    twentyone    quot  years  quot

name1   input  What s your name     age1   int input   how old are you      twentyone   str 21 - int age1    if age1 lt 21      print   Hi      name1    you will be 21 in      twentyone     years     else      print  You are over the age of 21

When you write x   0  x is an int   so you can t do x age1  because x is int
