Ordinal numbers

Question

Hello, I’m starting programming and I’m studying Python. Performing an exercise I managed to get the expected result. However, when I try to do the same program by converting the list to INT, it doesn’t work. Shows output error, even add a class int in the Print command. Can anyone ask me this question?

lista_numeros = ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']

for lista in lista_numeros:
    if lista == '1':
        print(lista + 'st')

    elif lista == '2':
        print(lista + 'nd')

    elif lista == '3':
        print(lista + 'rd')

    else:
        print(lista + 'th')

If you turn the list to int will need to convert the linha for string before concatenating and printing. Also change the comparison values in commands if. The conclusion is that you can convert, it just doesn’t make sense because the code will get more confused. It follows how it would look:

lista_numeros = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

for lista in lista_numeros:

    if lista == 1:
        print(str(lista) + 'st')

    elif lista == 2:
        print(str(lista) + 'nd')

    elif lista == 3:
        print(str(lista) + 'rd')

    else:
        print(str(lista) + 'th')
