Python program to add two numbers
By Lenin Mishra
Method 1 - Simple addition
Code
num1 = 10
num2 = 5
# Adding both numbers
sum = num1 + num2
# printing values
print(f"Sum of {num1} and {num2} is {sum}")
Output
Sum of 10 and 5 is 15
Method 2 - Adding two number provided by user input
Code
num1 = input("Enter first number: ")
num2 = input("Enter second number: ")
# User might enter float
sum = float(num1) + float(num2)
# We get a float value
print(f"The sum of {num1} and {num2} is {sum}")
Output
Enter first number: 10
Enter second number: 2
The sum of 10 and 2 is 12.0
Now be careful with this method. We are using the input()
built in function of Python. Since it returns a string, we convert the string into number using the float()
function. Then, the numbers are added.
Using the built in int()
function will chop off the decimal places.
All the above codes use f-strings. Learn about f-strings here.
