I've created a very small Python code to output the sum of two input numbers.. can it be made smaller?? 🤔

Question

Hi folks.. 😊! This one is my first shared code in the app! I'm a pretty new user with the app and just learning many things here.. 😄! These bit-sized lessons are really helping me to learn things in a nice and much easier way with much comfort! I'm focusing mainly on Python, JS, Web stuffs (HTML, CSS).. But want to learn many other things too.. 😏!
Here, this is a very little piece of code which I wrote while solving a coding qs in a 'Python Core' lesson which introduced to me the 'Walrus' operator which is :=. I was familiar with few langs but never knew abt this kinda weird looking operator..😅! Here I just tried to make a code to print the sum of two input numbers just within a line.. I think this is the shortest program I've ever written to output the sum of 2 inputs in any lang.. 😎! Share any thought abt it..! And is it possible to make this code any shorter doing the same task..? 🤔

FYI, the code is here:
print(x:=int(input())+int(input()))

Answer 1

In your example code, you are not using the variable x, so you could shotren the code by not using any variable.

Answer 2

I can't think of anything besides what Lisa already said, but I love the question!

Answer 3

Thnx a lot Lisa.. 🙏! Actually I thought that the input functions would only work while assigned to a variable.. Thatz why I used the Walrus there!! But checked now and I found that the task can be done without using the var..! 😊 But if a program needs to keep sum of 2 nos in a var and then has to use that sum later, the Walrus one might come a bit handy.. ☺️

Answer 4

This is short indeed.. but my aim was to get inputs from the user and then output the sum finally

Answer 5

Yes , absolutely. It can be made even more smaller.

For example,
print(8+10)

Output:- 18
