Very Simple Calculator Help

[Creepz]

number = int(input("What is your first number you want to work with??\n"))
if(number%2>0):
    print("Your number is odd")
else:
    print("Your number is even")
number_2= int(input("What is another number you want to work with?\n"))
if(number_2%2>0):
    print("Your number is odd")
else:
    print("Your number is even")
operator = int(input('What do you want to do: multiply, divide, add, subtract?\n'))
if(operator == 1):
    print(number * number_2)
elif(operator == 'divide'):
    print(number / number_2)
elif(operator == 'add'):
    print(number + number_2)
elif(operator == 'subtract'):
    print(number - number_2)
else:
    print ("Okay")

How can I make my calculator divide when I type divide into the third question? It currently works if I use integers instead of strings.

Of course it doesn't work with strings since you're casting the input to an integer.

It doesn't work either way. I changed it to an int after it not working to see if there was another problem. 

number = int(input("What is your first number you want to work with??\n"))
if(number%2>0):
    print("Your number is odd")
else:
    print("Your number is even")
number_2= int(input("What is another number you want to work with?\n"))
if(number_2%2>0):
    print("Your number is odd")
else:
    print("Your number is even")
operator = input('What do you want to do: multiply, divide, add, subtract?\n')
if(operator=='multiply'):
    print(number * number_2)
elif(operator=='divide'):
    print(number / number_2)
elif(operator=='add'):
    print(number + number_2)
elif(operator=='subtract'):
    print(number - number_2)
else:
    print ("Okay")

This doesn't work.

I think I may have miss read the OP, whats the issue? Was long as the word input isn't taken as "int" it works for me. 

Int stands for integer which is numerical, the words offered are just that, words and are read as strings. 

the int input only works with whole numbers, by definition of an integer, so if you use 2.04 or 3.15 or 13/4 it won't work. Try the float input type instead.

Whenever I try to run mine, this happens:

 

What is another number you want to work with?
6
Your number is even
What do you want to do: multiply, divide, add, subtract?
divide
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Devin/test.py", line 15, in <module>
    operator = input('What do you want to do: multiply, divide, add, subtract?\n')
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'divide' is not defined

Process finished with exit code 1

hmm, odd

It seems as if it is treating the input as a variable, the one thing I can think of is using raw_input instead of input. But that shouldn't be an issue if the other operators work.

I'm not sure why it only raises the error in divide so these suggestions are kinda hacky fixes.

Spoiler

You might try specifying str(input()) to set the input as a string.

 

You can try double parenthesis " instead of '

 

Perhaps set the divide option as the default else: 

 

Try putting the last part(after you enter divide) into a function

 I would think maybe an install or version issue but again, the others working rule that out. 

@fizzlesticks has more of a handle on python than I do

It worked, thank you!

Just a PS if it happens again

the input() type tries to interpret the input as python, so in python 2 use raw_input() 

python3, where I dwell, doesn't have the same issue
