If statements + input

Question

a=input("What you wanna do ?")
print ()
print ("Enter numbers")
x=input("No. 1- ")
y=input("No. 2- ")
If a== multiplication
print (int(x) * int(y))

What is the mistake and how do I verify ?
I even wanna do with addition , subs ...

Answer 1

multiplication is not enclosed in quotes (""). So it will be taken as variable name. But there is no variable named 'multiplication'.

So just replace multiplication with "multiplication", i.e.

if a == "multiplication":

Because 'a' is taking input as a string and you have to compare a string to a string.
