In this program you will learn to add two numbers and display it using print() function.
In the program below, we've used the airthmetic addition operator (+) to add two numbers.
#This program add two numbers
num1 = 1.5
num2 = 6.3
#Add two numbers
sum = float(num1) + (num2)
#Display the sum
print('The sum of {0} and {1} is {2}' .format (num1,num2,sum))
Output
The sum of 1.5 and 6.3 is 7.8
Changing this operator, we can subtract (-), multiply (*), divide(/) , floor divide (//) or find the reminder, (%) of two numbers.
Add two Numbers Provided by The User
# Store input numbers
num1 = input('Enter first number:')
num2 = input('Enter second number:')
#Add two nmbers
sum = float(num1) + float(num2)
#Display the sum
print('The sum of {0} and {1} is {2}'.format (num1,num2, sum))
Output
Enter first number: 1.5
Enter second number : 6.3
The sum of 1.5 and 6.3 is 7.
In the program, we asked user to enter two numbers and this program display the sum of two numbers entered by user.
We used the built-in function input() to take the input input() returns a string, so we covert in into number using the float () function.
Alternative to this, we can perform the addition in a single statement without using any variable as follows.
