Python, unable to convert input() to int()

Question

I am trying to convert input() data to int() with the following code:

prompt_text = \"Enter a number: \"
try:
  user_num = int(input(prompt_text))
except ValueEr

This may not be the cleanest solution but it addresses the problem, in your code user_num is not initialized unless it is a number.

prompt_text = "Enter a number: "
user_num = "no Input"
try:
  user_num = int(input(prompt_text))
except ValueError:
  print("Error")

if str(user_num).isnumeric():
  for i in range(1,10):
    print(i, " times ", user_num, " is ", i*user_num)

  even = ((user_num % 2) == 0)

  if even:
    print(user_num, " is even")
  else:
    print(user_num, " is odd")
else:
  print("You did not enter a number")
