Problem in calculator

Question

In my function, there are two variables, namely x and y. In calculating some operation which involves only one number to deal with, I want to cancel the second number. As it is an input, one has to input second number even when the operation doesn't involve it. What to do? Do I have to make another function for such types of operations? Or is there such provision in python? Please help.

Answer 1

You can use try/except
It will try to run input, if input dont exist it will set 1 to this value

Answer 2

Why you use so many if elif? Use dictionary:
di ={
"multiplication": m,
"division": d,
"addition":a,
#etc
}
