Calculator in 4 lines of code. Can I make it work?

Question

I thought of result in this way so I don't need to use "if" but it's 1st thing I wrote in life with less than basic python knowledge. If "x + y" work why can't I make operator as a variable and do math automatically like that "x y z" without writing 10 elifs.

Hum. Like you kind of can but you still need to compare somehow before transforming.

Thanks Anya I will try to make it with this help. Becouse to me in this case it still looks better than whole if statment

Answer 3

It won’t work because it will consider the inputed operator as a string and not a command
