wxPython message dialog won't work with function

I'm new to Python and just started writing a basic GUI program with wxPython. I have a series of text boxes where the user enters data and then they click a submit button.

The submit button triggers a getvalue method for each box (it looks like a=self.textbox1.GetValue()).

The there is a function that simply reads answer=a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h.

Then finally there's the wx.MessageDialog(self, answer, Title, wx.OK | wx.ICON_EXCLAMATION) that prints the answer in a msg dialog.

But instead of printing the sum of the numbers, it just prints them in a series.

I was messing around and replaced the variables in the answer function with actual integers and it gives me an error that says:

String or Unicode type required

I can't really think of any way to fix it since I only have like two days experience with Python.

How can I fix this?

GetValue() gives you the string value of what was typed.

You want to convert the strings to integers before trying to sum them.

a = int(self.textbox1.GetValue())
