How do I combine functions in python?

I am writing a python code that should convert str to int and find the sum of the inputs. Here's the code:

def convert_add():
    strings=[]
    n=int(input('Enter the list size: '))
    for i in range(0,n):
        print('Enter a string:',i)
        item=(input())
        if item==str:
            strings.append(len(item))
            print(sum(strings))
        else:
            strings.append(int(item))
            print(sum(strings))
convert_add()

So here's the thing, when I run this code it sums up the length of the strings I input, but I also want it to sum up integers. Since its a len function inputting a number(int) does the same thing it does to a string, it counts the figures, but I want an output of lets say 10 and 20 to be 30 and not 4. I have tried using the if statement and it's not working, i.e if item==str use the len fn else it sums. I am still a beginner and would love to know if there is a way I can combine them. Thanks.

You can combine.
Note that for input combined at the same time, for example 'str' and 10,
you will get an aggregate value of 13.

def convert_add():
    strings = []
    n = int(input('Enter the list size: '))
    for i in range(n):
        item = input(f'Enter a string {i + 1}: ')
        try:
            strings.append(int(item))
        except ValueError:
            # That's not an int
            strings.append(len(item))
        print(sum(strings))

convert_add()
