result=(num1+num2)
print(result)
elif operation=="-":
print(num1-num2)
elif operation=="stop":
break
print("stop")
elif operation=="/":
print(num1/num2)
elif operation=="*":
print(num1*num2)

Answer 1

Sololearn takes all input at one time in their non-web playgrounds, so it will loop until the user has no more input and an EOF occurs. Just put a break statement after the last elif statement like this:

elif operation == “*”:
print(num1 * num2)
break

Answer 2

The break statement is working. But just works when u input "stop".
U may need a break statement for each if or elif statement.

Answer 3

Umar Abbas if put stop at the first line, 2 at the second and 3 at the third, u will see. Be careful how SoloLearn use inputs, like Peter C... said. Read the input area of sololearn when u put run.

Answer 4

Why u need a break for each? Because u are Newbie. If u use a function, don't need.
when u use an if st, for example, u may need to say what to do next. if "something"... break. elif "something "... break.

Answer 5

Ive tried it that way also peter

Answer 6

Mauricio i have tried puting "stop" but it always ends with an EOF error , why would i need a break st for each elif woulnt one be enough for the entire loop

Answer 7

I do understand your point but im confused bcs the simple calulator in the solo lesson is not much different from my one that also with one break statement, reason i want to make clear is i want to learn from my mistakes ...
