Answer 1

The program contains a data type mismatch error.

The issue arises on the line:

print("You are " + age + " years old.")

Here, age is an integer (the result of int(input(...))), but the + operator is being used to concatenate it with a string. This will result in a TypeError because you cannot directly concatenate a string and an integer in Python.

To fix this, you could convert age back to a string using str(age), like this:

print("You are " + str(age) + " years old.")

So the correct answer is data type mismatch.
