TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly error python

Question

i read other questions but the thing im trying to do is different
im trying to make a calculator thingy in python and trying to make the variable input thing into a integer so i can add it. this is my code also its not finished yet and im a beginner:

print("Hello! Whats your name?")
myName = input()
print("What do you want me to do? " + myName)
print("I can add, subtract, multiply and divide.")
option = input('I want you to ')
if option == 'add':
    print('Enter a number.')
    firstNumber = input()
    firstNumber = int(firstNumber)

    print('Enter another number.')
    secondNumber = input()
    secondNumber = int(secondNumber)

    answer = firstNumber + secondNumber

    print('The answer is ' + answer)

what it does:

Answer 1

As the error message say, you can’t add int object to str object.

>>> 'str' + 2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly

Explicitly convert int object to str object, then concatenate:

>>> 'str' + str(2)
'str2'

Or use str.format method:

>>> 'The answer is {}'.format(3)
'The answer is 3'
