Newbie question: Python 3 calculations using input

Question

Hi!

New here. I have a question regarding Python 3 basics.

I'm trying to understand how I can use the input function for simple calculations. What I tried to do is to set up a simple line where I can input 2 digits and let Python add them together for me.

Here's what I tried:

1. print(input() + input())
2. print (input("") + input(""))

When I then add the numbers 2 and 3 as an input, I get 23 as the result. How do I have to change the code to get 5?

Thanks for your help! I'm eager to learn.

Answer 1

Input() returns string ,so "2"+"3" is 5 ,convert input into int like
int(input())

Answer 2

Here's what you need to do :

num1 = int(input())
num2 = int(input())
print(num1 + num2)
