Answer 1

An input from the user is a string by default. In order to perform mathematical operations on an input, you need to either change it to an integer or a float using int() or float() respectively.

Answer 2

You should convert da and db to int (or float) to make calculations with them

Answer 3

It’s just one line in code that you have to change:

#da,db = input().split()
da, db = map(int, input('Enter 2 Values sep. by space: \n').split())
num = da/2
num_final = num + db
print(num_final)

Answer 4

convert the type to numerical type like int or float first before any operation.

int(da)/2;

Answer 5

da,db = map(float, input().split())

Answer 6

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#input

as far as know python, which is not so much. i dont think its possible to directly change its behavior. maybe you can write a function like this

def input_int(text):
return int(input(text));
