Tutlesim GO2GOAL python code error : TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'float' [closed]

edit

I tried the following code from Turtlesim tutorial (GO TO GOAL):

import rospy
from geometry_msgs.msg import Twist
from turtlesim.msg import Pose
from math import pow, atan2, sqrt



class TurtleBot:


    def __init__(self):

        rospy.init_node('turtlebot_controller', anonymous=True)
        self.velocity_publisher = rospy.Publisher('/turtle1/cmd_vel',Twist, queue_size=10)
        self.pose_subscriber = rospy.Subscriber('/turtle1/pose',Pose, self.update_pose)
        self.pose = Pose()
        self.rate = rospy.Rate(10)


    def update_pose(self,data):

        self.pose = data
        self.pose.x = round(self.pose.x, 4)
        self.pose.y = round(self.pose.y, 4)


    def euclidean_distance(self, goal_pose):

            return sqrt(pow((goal_pose.x - self.pose.x), 2) + pow((goal_pose.y - self.pose.y), 2))

    def linear_vel(self, goal_pose, constant = 1.5):

        return constant * self.euclidean_distance(goal_pose)


    def steering_angle(self, goal_pose):

        return atan2(goal_pose.y - self.pose.y, goal_pose.x - self.pose.x)


    def angular_vel(self, goal_pose, constant = 6):

        return constant * (self.steering_angle(goal_pose) - self.pose.theta)


    def move2goal(self):

        goal_pose = Pose()

        goal_pose.x = input("Set your x goal: ")
        goal_pose.y = input("Set your y goal: ")

        distance_tolerance = input("Set your tolerance: ")

        vel_msg = Twist()

        while self.euclidean_distance(goal_pose) >= distance_tolerance:

            vel_msg.linear.x = self.linear_vel(goal_pose)
            vel_msg.linear.y = 0
            vel_msg.linear.z = 0

            vel_msg.angular.x = 0
            vel_msg.angular.y = 0
            vel_msg.angular.z = self.angular_vel(goal_pose)

            self.velocity_publisher.publish(vel_msg)

            self.rate.sleep()

        vel_msg.linear.x = 0
        vel_msg.linear.z = 0
        self.velocity_publisher.publish(vel_msg)

        rospy.spin()


if __name__ == '__main__':

    try:
        x = TurtleBot()
        x.move2goal()

    except rospy.ROSInterruptException:
        pass

When i run it, it asks for value of x, value of y and then value of tolerance. But after entering tolerance it shows this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'float'

I assume that the goal_pose = Pose() didn't do it's part. If yes, then that means that import from a different module from turtlesim.msg import Pose didn't work. I tried simple Publisher & Subscriber (it worked) and Turtlesim_teleop_key(it also worked) along with some other customisations on Publisher & Subscriber (worked). Then whats happening here ???

Any suggestions on how to fix this TypeError ? I tried converting ever pose related object/variable to float , and it seems working fine then, but that's not the answer for long run, . Need Help ASAP.

Thanks in advance
