Using different consoles shows different results ..

Question

Hello, I'm trying with the following code:

elif user_input == "add"
num1 = float(input ("Enter the first value: "))
num2 = float(input ("Enter the second value: "))
result = str(num1 + num2)
print("The result is: " + result)

If I run on Spyder Phyton 3.6 on my laptop I get concatenated numbers. With inputs 1 and 2, I got 12.
If I run on online console or in this app I got 3.
This is frustrating.. What is the reason for that and what is the general rule to follow? Thanks.

Answer 1

Calculate result first, use str() inside print() as follows:

result = num1 + num2
print("The result is: " + str(result))

Or, use format() as follows:

result = num1 + num2
print("The result is: {}".format(result))

This also will work:

print("The result is: {}".format(num1 + num2))
