How can I convert a string to an int in Python?

Question

The output I\'m getting for my little example app is the following:

Welcome to the Calculator!

0: Addition
1: Subtracti         


        

Answer 1

>>> a = "123"
>>> int(a)
123

Here's some freebie code:

def getTwoNumbers():
    numberA = raw_input("Enter your first number: ")
    numberB = raw_input("Enter your second number: ")
    return int(numberA), int(numberB)
