What's the default variable type for input in Python 3.x?

I’ve been trying to write a simple checking script for whatever the user inputs.

The script, however, automatically assumes that anything being input is a string by default. Is there a way to change that without using int(input) or float(input)? The point of the script is to use the isinstance to get the correct output.

l = input("Input: ")
if isinstance(l, int) and l >= 0:
    print ("l is %d and is more/equal to zero" % l)
elif isinstance(l, int) and l < 0:
    print ("l is %d and is lesser than zero" % l)
elif isinstance(l, float): 
    print ("l is %.2f and is a float variable" % l) 
elif isinstance(l, str):
    print ("l is %s and is a string" % l)

>Solution :

The input() function always returns a string. If you want it to be some other type, you’ll need to manually convert it.

my_str = input("Enter a number")
my_int = int(my_str)
my_float = float(my_str)
