Pyperclip copy and dividing the results

Question

I'm having some issues with my code not dividing the copied answers and instead giving me string errors.

for x in range(5):
    time.sleep(3)
    coordinates = (pyperclip.paste())
    print(coordinates/2) 

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'objc.pyobjc_unicode' and 'int'

Answer 1

If you used pyperclip.copy("1234") and the string was a number then you could do this

for x in range(5):
    time.sleep(3)
    coordinates = int(pyperclip.paste())
    print(coordinates/2)
