I'm having problems with the simple calculator. Help

Question

11. break
12. elif user_input=="add":
13. ...
14. elif user_input=="subtract":
15. ...

I tried out this code, buh it shows me SyntaxError: invalid syntax in LINE 13. help

Answer 1

Well, how about showing us what you actually put in line 13 instead of "..."? (Unless you DID put "...", which would explain the synthax error.)

Answer 2

You were supposed to put the actual code to handle the operation instead of the 3 dots.

Answer 3

the ... is just a placeholder, go through the rest of the tutorial to finish each statement
eg.

if user_input="add":
num1=float (input ("enter the 1st number"))
num2=float (input ("enter the 2nd number"))
result=str(num1+num2)
print("answer is: "+result)

Answer 4

I actually put the three dots in line 13 (...)
That was how I saw it in the tutorial of A SIMPLE CALCULATOR

Answer 5

Hmm.. What code?
Kinda confused here

Answer 6

you need to write actual codes instead of the ...
if you fill out the blanks in "creating a calculator, I'd look like this:

elif user_input=="add"
num1=float(input("Enter a number:"))
num2=float(input("Enter another number:"))
result=str(num1+num2)
print("The answer is"+result)
elif user_input=='substract'
num1=float(input("Enter a number:"))
num2=float(input("Enter another number:"))
result=str(num1-num2)
print("The answer is"+result)
elif user_input=="multiply"
num1=float(input("Enter a number:"))
num2=float(input("Enter another number:"))
result=str(num1*num2)
print("The answer is"+result)
elif user_input =="divide"
num1=float(input("Enter a number:"))
num2=float(input("Enter another number:"))
result=str(num1/num2)
print("The answer is"+result)
else:
print("Unknown input")
