I made my first ever program in python 3 could you guys see if its good?

Question

This is my FIRST EVER program so please don't go too harsh thanks
def add(x, y):
return x + y

def times(x, y):
return x * y

def divide(x, y):
return x / y

def subtract(x, y):
return x - y

print("Hi Sololearn, This is my first ever program (calculator) in python after 3 days of learning!")
print("choose an option")
print("1. add")
print("2. divide")
print("3. times")
print("4. subtract")

option = input("enter an option either 1, 2, 3, 4, = ")

num1 = float(input("Enter first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Enter second number: "))

if option == '1':
print(num1, "+" ,num2, "=" ,add(num1, num2))

if option == '2':
print(num1, "/" ,num2, "=" ,divide(num1, num2))

if option == '3':
print(num1, "x" ,num2, "=" ,times(num1, num2))

if option == '4':
print(num1, "-" ,num2, "=" ,subtract(num1, num2))

Answer 1

There is no sense to create function for every option.

Just write

print(num1, '-', num2, '=', num1 - num2)

Answer 2

hey
later you will find out, that is much to improve.
But congrats for first prog.
I smell talent👍

Answer 3

You look like superhuman. Every programmer write his/her first program for showing some message on console but you are the genius one.
Using function for simple operations are useless also don't use print Statement 5-6 times or more, instead you can use escape sequence '\n'.Rest all is quite good as a beginner.
All the best!!

I'm a beginner too and one of my first programs was a calculator as well. Much simpler than this tho. Keep up the good work!

Answer 8

Congrats...
This is great program for beginners.....
Keep it up, hopes to see you from time to time..... 👍🏻

Answer 9

good to have function. you can write test to load lots of inputs and define expected out put. passed or failed

Answer 10

Bro use elif instead of if

Answer 11

great start, keep it up! if you write it in the coding section, you can also post it here in a way people can see it working - without then having to copy it to their IDE :)
