Invalid literal for int() with base 10?

[Kevin M. Wilson]

Ok, I'm not finding any info. on the int() for converting a str to an int (that specifies a base parameter)?! The picture is of the code I've written... And the base 10 paradigm involved?? years = int('y') # store for calculation ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'y'
What is meant by "invalid literal"? I'm trying to convert str to int, and I didn't know I needed to specify the base. Plus I haven't read anything that I need to specify the base for the int().
Attached is the code, showing the code and the execution of said code.
Sorry, got pissed and didn't check all the content I sent!
