Multiple string values

Question

Input: 2 2 (two numbers with space)
Output: 4

how to make it work without imort additional modules? (The entered numbers can be multi-digit (123 12 75533, etc.).)

Answer 1

there is a builtin function to multiply elements of a list, but he is asking to use no imports

import math

print(math.prod([2,2,3,])) # result is 12

Answer 2

Sergey , your code is perfect, no need to rework it. 👍

Answer 3

Илья Мирошник I'd advise against using eval on input without any validation because it poses a security risk. This just a training exercise of course, but suggesting it shouldn't go without a warning about the risks. At least don't use it on untrusted input in a productive application.

Also you are making assumptions about input that can be false
And it is harder to read / understand the purpose than math.prod()

Answer 4

Not sum(), need multiple(*)....

Answer 5

Works, but not very elegantly 😂

Answer 6

Lothar you are right, my wording was not correct

Answer 7

Just eval text:
print(eval(str(input()).replace(" ","*")))

Answer 8

There is no inbuilt function to multiply list elements, so you have to do it yourself in a loop.

If you can't get it to work have a look at this link:

Answer 9

Илья Мирошник

Лучшее решение, спасибо!
print(eval(str(input()).replace(" ","*")))

Answer 10

eval can be made a programming language itself lol

Answer 11

LOL its just fun man

Answer 12

Carlos right, although the language is still python of course.
Or to put it different you can say that this:

eval(input())

is a truly universal program that can do literally anything.
