'%' Python Is Giving Me A "not All Arguments Converted During String Formatting"

I've downloaded the exact version this text asked me to however the '%' is giving me a problem. x = raw_input('Enter an integer:') if x%2 == 0: print '' print 'Even' else:

Solution 1:

The raw_input() function returns a string, not an integer. To change it to an integer, you have to call the int() function:

x = int(raw_input('Enter an integer:'))

Note that an error will be raised if you input anything other than a number.

What python thinks you're doing is trying to use string formatting with the % operator. As there are no "%" in the string you input, the error "not all arguments converted during string formatting" is raised.
