Step 1: Create two variables that accept input from the user.

x_string = input(“Enter 1st number:”)
y_string = input(“Enter 2nd number:”)

Step 2: Add the two variables, and print the results.

• Why does the console print a combined result of the inputs instead of the mathematical operation?

print(“Sum: “, x_string + y_string)

Step 3: Use the int() function to cast your variables from the String data type to the Integer data type.

x = int(x_string)
y = int(y_string)

Step 4: Add the two variables (x and y) and print the results to the console.

• (Note that the two variables are integers and are mathematically added.)

print(“Sum: “, x+y)

Step 5: Subtract the two variables and print the results to the console

print(“Difference: “, x-y)

Step 6: Multiply the two variables and print the results to the console.

print(“Multiplication: “, x*y)

Step 7: Divide the two variables and print the results to the console.

print(“Division: “, x/y)

Step 8: Perform a modulo operation on the variables and print the results to the console.

print(“Remainder: “, x%y)

Full Code

x_string = input("Enter 1st number:")
y_string = input("Enter 2nd number:")

print("Sum: ", x_string + y_string)

x = float(x_string)
y = float(y_string)

print("Sum: ", x+y)
print("Difference: ", x-y)
print("Multiplication: ", x*y)
print("Division: ", x/y)
print("Division: ", x/y)
