Script to find which number is larger keeps giving incorrect answer

This script is supposed to ask for two numbers and output which number is larger, but keeps giving incorrect answers, such as 54>3514 and so on.

def numberThingy():
num1=input("Enter first number: ").strip()
num2=input("Enter second number: ").strip()

if num1>num2:
    print("The first number is larger.")
elif num1<num2:
    print("The second number is larger.")
else:
    print("The numbers are equal.")

while True:
    numberThingy()

You need to cast int to the input. When input is given, it is a string by default. You also don't need the .strip() in this situation.

def numberThingy():
    num1=int(input("Enter first number: "))
    num2=int(input("Enter second number: "))
    if num1>num2:
    print("The first number is larger.")
    elif num1<num2:
        print("The second number is larger.")
    else:
        print("The numbers are equal.")

while True: numberThingy()
