TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable

Occurs when trying to access an index on a non-sequence type like int.

reproduce.py

phone_number = 1234567890

print(phone_number[0])

Error Message

TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable

Fix

phone_number = 1234567890

phone_str = str(phone_number)
print(phone_str[0])

Reflection

Tried to index a number directly. Converting to string fixed it.
