[issue44438] argparser documentation error

[Arman Sargsyan]

New submission from Arman Sargsyan <sargsyan_arman at outlook.com>:

URL - https://docs.python.org/3/howto/argparse.html

The following code will return a type error:

import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("square", help="display a square of a given number")
args = parser.parse_args()
print(args.square**2)

This should be changed to:

import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("square", help="display a square of a given number")
args = parser.parse_args()
print(int(args.square)**2)
