[Solved] How to use IF or ELSE statements in Python? BTW, How is my username and profile picture?

All you have to do in this case is remove the int() call from the main(). Your string() function is expecting a string – if you send it an int, it’ll never work. Additionally, you can use the elif keyword:

def string(x):
    if x=="1":
        word = "one"
    elif x=="2":
        word = "two"
    elif x=="3":
        word = "three"
    elif x=="4":
        word = "four"
    elif x=="5":
        word = "five"
    elif x=="6":
        word = "six"
    elif x=="7":
        word = "seven"
    else:
        word = "Try again"
    return word

def main():
  y = input("Please enter a number between 1 and 7: ")
  z = string(y)
  print(z)

main()

Or you can use a data structure called a dictionary:

def string(x):
    if x not in ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7'):
        return "Try again"

    d = {'1':'one', '2':'two', '3':'three', '4':'four',
    '5':'five', '6':'six', '7':'seven'}

    return d.get(x)

def main():
  print(string(input("Please enter a number between 1 and 7: ")))

main()
