Asking for 2 numbers

Question

program that ask for 2 numbers, how do I go about that

Answer 1

In code playground, you must give all entries required by your script at once, just when it begins ( each separated by new line )...

However, if you mean ask for 2 numbers at once input() call, you need split the returned string by a specific character ( "1 2" or "1,2" and so on )

Anyway, as input() returned value is always of type string, you have to cast it to number type ( int or float )

numstr = "42"
numfloat = float(numstr)
numint = int(numstr)

... by the way, you can define a function to auto cast string to mosr better suited number type:

def number(n):
try:
if '.' in n:
return float(n)
else:
return int(n)
except:
return None

num = number("42")

Answer 2

num_1 = int(input())
num_2 = int(input())

if (num_1 + num_2) > 100:
print("etc.")

# If you are in the code playground you have to enter the two numbers each in its line to avoid and EOFError.

EDITED:
converted the input to int. This is just a demo though.

Answer 3

If you are doing your code in the code playground, run this code to see a possible cause and how to handle it:

Answer 4

@Ulisses: input() returns a string.

Answer 5

I'm still running into errors, I'm not sure what I'm doing

Answer 6

what I'm suppose to do is write a program that asked for 2 numbers. and if the sum of the two numbers is greater than 100 it prints "etc."
