Hello, i'm new to python, I mostly program in C++. i'm adding values, but it doesn't give me the right answer.

x = input("Enter number: ");
y = input("Enter a another number: ");
z = x + y;

print("Answer is: " + z);

if i enter 5 + 5 it gives me 55, which isn't right. i tried converting the values to int()
but it gives me a syntax error.

Yes convert the number to int or float and do not add result to string.

Most of the online tutorials cover input and conversion from on data type to another.
