Answer 1

I added a comment in ur code
Minor prob😊

Answer 2

elif user_input == "add":
num1 = float(input("Enter a number:"))
num2 = float(input("Enter another number:"))
result = (num1 + num2)
print("The answer is", result)
break
...
...
else:
print("Unknown input")
break

Answer 3

Add brackets to the "input()" and everything will work.

Since you are using a loop, then look carefully at what commands you constantly repeat and try to shorten the code.

Answer 4

Instead of placing link to code in the tag area mention the language ,ty

Answer 5

And that link took me to this thread only ,weird ,anyway post link to your code using insert code ,
If I could see your code ,it would be easy to find error input looks right to me tho

Answer 7

You weren't inputting in right format I guess
This is how it should be
add
4
5

Also convert that result to string

Also use break to prevent while loop to keep running and asking input from user
You have to input all the inputs at one time only ,it doesn't let's you give input one by one ,so that's why it was causing end of file error

Answer 8

Thanks Vasily, Abhay, Oma Falk
i had to change the user_input on line 8 to this
user_input = input

and i also used "break" to prevent the while loop from running infinitely.
Thanks.

EOF stands for End of File in Python. Unexpected EOF implies that the interpreter has reached the end of our program before executing all the code. This error is likely to occur when: we fail to declare a statement for loop ( while / for )
