What is the problem in this python code

Yes.

 

 

I think you should write out what you want out what you want to happen in plain English (or whatever language you prefer). Then translate that to Python. I could just tell you what to code, but I don't think will help you learn.

 

I will suggest that "operator" or "operation" would be a clearer variable name than "function".

Here's what I'd do:

[code]
number_1 = int(input('Enter a number: '))
number_2 = int(input('Enter a second number: '))
function = int(input('1. Addition'))
if function == 1 :
   print (number_1+number_2)
[/code]

Thanks for the help

Make sure you understand why it works. And try to use better variable names like SSL suggested.

Yeah I understand how the one you suggested works and I'll work on using better names

Some interesting things to think about later (google):

• Store a function reference in a dictionary
• Store a function reference in a variable

Bookmarked for later

Nice! Didn't know there was an easy way to simulate the case/switch statement in Python. That was so useful in Java.
