How to convert int format to string format when defining python programs

Question

I want to convert my input from int to string but i cannot do it! This is my code! Please help!

 def hi(x):

       print x

if I put a letter for x,an error message comes! I don't want to give my input within double quotation marks.without doing that, is there any way?

Could you please be a little clear? Can you give some examples — Bhargav Rao, May 19 '15 at 15:05
Where does the error message come, and what is the error message ? — karthikr, May 19 '15 at 15:06
For an example, if i type hi(klmnop) , it would give an error message like "klmnop is not defined" ! — Tharushi Geethma, May 19 '15 at 15:09
Rule of Python #1, built-in methods are used for typecasting. `str(x)` — Malik Brahimi, May 19 '15 at 15:09
I can't put it like hi(str(x)) because this is a defined program code! — Tharushi Geethma, May 19 '15 at 15:10
It's hard to say without seeing the entire program, but I have a feeling the real answer is "use `raw_input` instead of `input`" — Kevin, May 19 '15 at 15:16

Its quiet simple.

def hi(intx):
   target = ''.format(intx)
   print target

Yea but that does not mean that your question was clear. This is indeed a duplicate questions and the moderators are right about that. – Bhanu Kaushik May 19 '15 at 15:19

def hi(x):
    print(type(x))
    x= str(x)
    print(type(x))

So your argument is an integer but when you do str(x), you change the data type to string.
