Can you write an operation to a variable?

Question

I want to make a calculator in python 3, but it doesn't seem to like operators (+, %, *, etc.) Anyone know a program that can?

Answer 1

This should work:

a = 3 + 5
print(a)

If it doesn't, post minimal reproduction of your code, what you expect to happen, what happens instead, and the full error it generates, if any.
