how to convert str to int

Question

I'm making a guessing game and i need to know how to stop it from putting my answers in lexicographical order as that makes a bug in my game.

I've tried instead of having elif Guess < str(value): making it elif Guess < int(value): but i get the error message "'<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'" and i'm having no luck with anything else

Here is the code im working with

from random import *
from random import randint
import os

numbers = []
Guesses = []
dif = []

os.system('CLS')
print("I want you to guess my number")
print("\n \n \n \nIf you give up type 'give up' word for word")

f = open("Data.txt", "a")

print("Say 'yes' If You're Ready")

YN = input()



if YN == "yes":
    os.system('cls')
    print("Select a difficulty")
    print('impossible 1 - 10000')
    print('annoying 1 - 1000')
    print('hard 1 - 500')
    print('medium 1 - 200')
    print('easy 1 - 99')
    print('beginner 1 - 10')

diff = input()





if diff == 'easy':
    os.system('CLS')
    value = randint(1, 99)
    numbers.append(value)
    dif.append(diff)

elif diff == 'beginner':
    os.system('CLS')
    value = randint(1, 10)
    numbers.append(value)
    dif.append(diff)

elif diff == 'medium':
    os.system('CLS')
    value = randint(1, 199)
    numbers.append(value)
    dif.append(diff)

elif diff == 'hard':
    os.system('CLS')
    value = randint(1, 499)
    numbers.append(value)
    dif.append(diff)

elif diff == 'annoying':
    os.system('CLS')
    value = randint(1, 1000)
    numbers.append(value)
    dif.append(diff)

elif diff == 'impossible':
    os.system('CLS')
    value = randint(1, 10000)
    numbers.append(value)
    dif.append(diff)


os.system('cls')

while True:
    Guess = input()



    if Guess == "give up":
        print("The Number Was " + str(numbers))
        f.write("------------------------------------------------------------- \n \r")
        f.write("Guesses " + str(Guesses) + "\n \r")
        f.write("Difficulty: " + str(dif) + "\n \r")
        f.write("[USER GAVE UP] \n \r")
        f.write("Correct Answer: " + str(numbers) + "\n \r")
        f.write("------------------------------------------------------------- \n \r")
        break

    elif Guess < str(value):
        print("Higher")
        Guesses.append(Guess + " - Higher")

    elif Guess > str(value):
        print("Lower")
        Guesses.append(Guess + " - Lower")


    elif Guess == str(value):
        os.system('CLS')
        length = len(Guesses)
        f.write("------------------------------------------------------------- \n \r")
        f.write("Guesses " + str(Guesses) + "\n \r")
        f.write("Difficulty: " + str(dif) + "\n \r")
        f.write("Number Of Guesses [" + str(length) + "]\n \r")
        f.write("Correct Answer: " + str(numbers) + "\n \r")
        f.write("------------------------------------------------------------- \n \r")
        print("That Was Correct!")
        for x in Guesses:
            print(x)
        break

input()

You may try to convert Guess from str to int, and compare in integer.

elif int(Guess) < value:
