You also should use: if ... elif... elif... elif...

And there are not needed parenthesis. This won't cause any trouble, it's just useless scelta = input(...)

You also need to convert your second and third inputs to integer type with int() and you still don't use elif + have not indented properly.

Nothing's easier ! myvar = 7 this way, you declared the variable myvar, and assigned it a value of 7 at the same time. Python automatically sets it as an integer. Same goes for other types: myvar2 = 'tree' you just delcared a string. and so on. If you really need to declare a variable first, without assigning it any value, since python 3.6, there is: myvar : int (...) myvar = 7 I suggest you to start learning Sololearn's Python course where it is well explained : ) https://www.sololearn.com/Course/Python/ About your second question, on sololearn, you can assign user input to a variable this way : myvar = input() type of your variable will then be string. You'll need to turn it to an integer if that's your need (myvar = int(input()))

You need to add " " to your strings: If... =="divisione":

Variable type is defined by the value it is assigned, you don't need to use any datatype headings like in Java or C++. But I didn't understand your second question.

Niko Python's input function returns all the input as string, programmer might add some functionality to manipulate the returned string like wanted, there might be some builtin (__bultins__) functions or methods to perform some simple things or programmer can define his own ways to produce the input.

Niko Your example in C++ I would translate as: print("you insert first number") NameVar = int(input()) But it's difference is that an error occurs, if user types a non integer value. It would require few extra lines to handle it.

Niko input returns strings, strings can be changed to integers with int function (constructor), int(string), but it raises an error, if string has a non int. int("74") would be ok and return 74, but int("abc") would return an error.

Niko "elif" means "else if"

In SoloLearn you need a newline (in input event) for each input function.

Thank you so much for replied me! Generally now I use VisualBasic ( I say also little C++) and I want also learn Python. I am studying now the basic, and thanks your answer I understood also declaration of variables on Python. I thought that , like C++ , there was instruction for this. Now, I ask you, If for example, I don't say value of variable and , with input instruction, the user insert this within, how Can I do this? For understand better: How Can I translate this instruction in Python? NameVar = Val(inputbox("You insert first number")) Or C++ cout<<"you insert first number"<<endl; cin>> NameVar;

So, for example, do this instuction NameVar = input("you insert first number") , is not correct ? On Python is not possible that the user insert like input a valor? If I would write a code for do a addiction of two numbers that thr user insert, how can I do this on Python?
