  You need to state which story format you are using, as answers can be different for each one.
  
  Harlowe:

  (set: $age to (prompt: "Your age is?"))
  
  (if: $age is "" or isNaN($age))[
  	You did not enter a number, defaulting age to 18
  	(set: $age to 18)
  ]
  (else:)[
  	Convert the text (String) numerical value into a number.
  	(set: $age to (num: $age))
  ]
  
  Age is: $age
  

  
  SugarCube 1: Using <<textbox>> macro:
  a. Main passage:

  Your age is? <<textbox "$age" "18" "Check Age">>
  

  b. Check Age passage:

  <<if isNaN($age)>>
  	You did not enter a number, defaulting age to 18
  	<<set $age to 18>>
  <<else>>
  	Convert the text (String) numerical value into a number.
  	<<set $age to parseInt($age)>>
  <<endif>>
  
  Age is: $age
