🔒 How to make it add numbers

[lofty roost]

Hey @quaint mantle!

Please edit your message to use a code block

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

print("hello how old are you?")
answer_1 = input("whats ur age?: ")
if answer_1 == answer_1:
print("you are " + answer_1 + " years old")
print()
answer_2 = input("type any number: ")
if answer_2 == answer_2:
print("hello i am",str(answer_2))

[eager quest]

you don't need if checks, if there is a case to print only when answer _1 and answer _2 becomes equal

[quasi axle]

what do you want to achieve?

[eager quest]

age = input("What's your age?: ")
random_num = input("Type any number: ")

if age == random_num:
    print(f"Match! I am also {random_num}")
else:
    print("The numbers don't match.")

# according to your post title, you wanna do something like this if im not wrong

print(int(age)+int(random_num))

[tropic pollen]

For that you should use int() function first because age is a integer(numbers) not string

[quaint mantle]

answer_2 = input("enter a number: ")
answer_2 = int(answer_2) + 7
print(answer_2)

[quaint mantle]

I wanted to add this in here

[tropic pollen]

It looks much better but the best practice is …int(input(“enter a number:)) putting all the input inside the int function

[quaint mantle]

I can learn about that and put it in there?

[tropic pollen]

Okay but what are you trying to do? Your code is working tho

[quaint mantle]

Type a number then it can add a number I choose

[tropic pollen]

I think youll need a loop for that

[quaint mantle]

Idk what loop is😬

[plain brook]

num = int(input("enter number"))
print(num + (whatever your number is))

[tropic pollen]

That would be too hardcoded

[plain brook]

ok

[quaint mantle]

What's num

[plain brook]

variable.

you can replace num with anything

(String)

[plain brook]

@quaint mantle

or just do x, its easier

[quaint mantle]

age = int(input("enter a number: "))
print(age+(10))

Like this??

[plain brook]

without the parentheses around the number so age + 10

[plain brook]

@quaint mantle

[quaint mantle]

What does parentheses mean?

[plain brook]

Like these
( l

( ) I mean

@quaint mantle
So it would be

age = int(input("enter a number:"))
print(age + 10)

[quaint mantle]

So it functions the same

[plain brook]

yes but it PROBABL Y wont work if you do (10)

[quaint mantle]

Why we need () anyways?

[plain brook]

idk I didnt create python

[quaint mantle]

U use it alot??

[plain brook]

uhhhhh

yes......

-# I dont use c++ ok?

[quaint mantle]

I'm a newbie to Python

I will get curious alot

[plain brook]

I started python 2 years ago-

not to brag but just saying

[quaint mantle]

Np

[plain brook]

Ok

[quaint mantle]

Is python hard when u first started?

[plain brook]

y e s

[quaint mantle]

What did u do to get better?

[plain brook]

learn.

and I pretty much learned while playing around with it

by*

[tropic pollen]

In your case it doesnt matter if you use it inside or not its just a group expression use for clarity and more

[plain brook]

ok

[quaint mantle]

So its not important?

[plain brook]

never knew that

[tropic pollen]

Depends on what you doing

[vital beacon]

Round brackets () do 2 things:

• grouping, when you need to ensure the an expression in interpreted a particular way
• calling a function, like input()

Grouping:
in arithmetic, 2+5*3 is 2*15 i.e 30 because * (multiplication) binds tighter than + (addition)
but (2+5)*3 is 7*3 i.e. 21 because the bracket force the adition to be considered in isolation, before the multiplication.

So your print(age + (10)) groups the 10 on its own - this has no special effect, but will work. (10) is the same as 10.

Calling a function like input("hello: ") or print(9).

The word input or print is just a reference to the function. You need brackets to run the function and collect its result.

So:
name = input
just makes the variable name refer to the function which input refers to.
name = input() actually runs the input function and returns the text it collected, saving it in name.
