Addition of multiple numbers in python

I wrote a code like this def add(*args): sum = 0 for i in args: sum = sum + i return sum print(add(3,4)) I directly given values in the add function call. How can I get values from the user? And also tell me how to print an error message when user enters any alphabet or special character ??

def add(args): sum = 0 for i in args: sum = sum + i return sum #try like this a = [] try: a = list(map(int, input().split())) except: print("Please enter Numeric values only") exit() print(add(a)) Try thus code and pass space seperated values in single line Ex input : 1 2 3 4

Pardha Saradhi My code requires all the inputs to be in separate lines. If you want the numbers to be in a single line, then try this one: try: print(add(*map(int, input().split()))) except: print("Please enter a valid input!") # Hope this helps

exit() is used to stop the execution of program at the point where it is used, I have used this so that you can only see the error message that we are providing to user and not the error generated by python.

try: def s(*x): s = sum([float(i) for i in x]) return s n = input().split() x = list(map(float,n)) print(s(*x)) except: print("input error") # you must input digit separated by space. Ex: 1 2 3 #it's outputting real number #hope this help

Or if you want multiple inputs you can even use list for that

Pardha Saradhi Here's a possible solution: def add(*args): return sum(args) inp = [] try: while 1: inp.append(int(input())) except ValueError: print("Please enter a valid input!") exit() except EOFError: print(add(*inp)) # Hope this helps

Pardha Saradhi Run the code and see the output window you will find the error message for user followed by the error message generated by python Hope this helps 😊
