First time coding multiplication in python but always an error comes

[IamSciFi]

I'm a new at python but have a little bit of exp so I typed
a code:-
x=input('Enter the number')
y=input('Enter the number')
print('The product of x and y is');x*y=
END

But it always saysTraceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/lapchief/Documents/Python/Python 1st program.py", line 3, in <module>
print('The product of x and y is');x*y
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'str'
so plz tell is my code correct and if no then plz tell me what correction I need to do here.

The input entered is returned as a string.

You need to convert the inputs to int.Like this

x=int(input('Enter the number'))

Here is python tutorial for beginners to know more

You should take the integer input or convert it into an integer then perform the multiplication of integers.

mul=int(a)*int(b)

or

a=int(input("Enter the value of a : "))
b=int(input("Enter the value of b : "))
mul=a*b
