Can someone point me in the right direction to write this code please
Hi guys, I am having trouble writing this code I have like all the basic input prompts to get the input data from the user but how can I add all the input up to a total and then output messages? Please enter the route: Please enter the number of stops on this route: How many passengers were waiting for the bus at stop #1? 5 How many passengers left the bus at stop #2? 3 How many passengers were waiting for the bus at stop #2? 4 How many passengers left the bus at stop #3? 2 This is the last stop. There should be 4 passengers leaving. How many passengers left the bus at stop #3? 4 Route number: 999 Passengers left: 4

The type of value returned by input() function is string.
To do calculation with them, you need to cast them to numbers:
def number(s):
try:
if '.' in s:
return float(s)
else:
return int(s)
except:
return None
... use the above function to do that:
value = number(input('Enter a value? '))
... to get the most adapted numerical type ;)
However, what do you want to do with your last lines of code? ( from declaration/assignation of 'a' and 'b' arrays )
What should be the purpose of your ( unused ) sum() function? ( actually she return the concatenation of two inaccessible global variables: you need to defines parameters to your function to pass any list through them, or define your "static" lists so they are accessible inside the function scope -- declare them inside, or declare 'a' and 'b' with 'global' keyword )

This is your output... what's your code? or is it your "expected" output?
What is the purpose of the code to write? ( what to do with all these user entries ^^ )

Thnx @visph,
no this is not my output,
I have most of the user input prompts done I just need to add them up at the end
here is what i got so far
bus_route= 123
bus_route = input("Please enter the route number: ")
if input() != bus_route:
print("Invalid route number. Please enter a positive integer.")
else:
stops = input("Please enter the number of stops on this route: ")
stops = int(stops)
first = input("How many passengers were waiting for the bus at stop #1? ")
first = int(first)
first_stop = input("How many passengers left the bus at stop #2? ")
first_stop = int(first_stop)
second = input("How many passengers were waiting for the bus at stop #2? ")
second = int(second)
second_stop = input("How many passengers left the bus at stop #3? ")
second_stop= int(second_stop)
third = input("How many passengers were waiting for the bus at stop #3? ")
third = int(third)
third_stop = input("How many passengers left the bus at stop #4? ")
third_stop= int(third_stop)
fourth = input("How many passengers were waiting for the bus at stop #4? ")
fourth = int(fourth)
fourth_stop = input("How many passengers left the bus at stop #5? ")
fourth_stop= int(fourth_stop)
fifth = input("This is the last stop. There should be + 'fourth_stop' passengers leaving at this stop")
fifth = int(fifth)
total_stop= first+second+third+fourth+fifth
print(total_stop)
a = [first_stop, second_stop, third_stop, fourth_stop]
b = [first, second, third, fourth, fifth]
def sum():
return (a+b)

I give that a go.
Thank you @visph
