Please help with this code

Question

iv written a simple math code

A = input ( )
B = input ( )
C = input ( )
D = input ( )
E = input ( )

print ((int(A) + int(B)+ int (C) + int (D) + int (E) / 5))

works with single numbers eg 1 2 3 4 5
but if I put
1.234 1.345 and so on it does not work any help

Answer 1

Try using float() instead of int()

Answer 2

You can define a function which cast for you a number as int else float ( that's the name in Python, there's no 'double' type ;) ) only if needed ( this can be helpful for dealing with numerical floating representation which could introduce some error of rounding ):

def number_cast(nb_str):
return float(nb_str) if '.' in nb_str else int(nb_str)

# and cast input directly, to keep print expression readable

A = number_cast(input ( ))
B = number_cast(input ( ))
C = number_cast(input ( ))
D = number_cast(input ( ))
E = number_cast(input ( ))

print (A + B + C + D + E / 5)

Accessory, your expression is equivalent to A+B+C+D+(E/5) and not to (A+B+C+D+E)/5... for the second case, you need to put explicits parenthesis ^^

Answer 3

I don't know python3 but I do know programming basics and if I'm correct, your problem is that you're trying to input numbers of data type "double" into data type "integer" (int) variables which is not possible.

int (integer) - is whole numbers 1, 2, 3, etc
double (double) - is numbers with decimal values like 1.5, 2.5, etc

So try this:
print ((double(A) + double(B)+ double (C) + double (D) + double (E) / 5))
-for double values

Answer 4

Replace INT with FLOAT

Answer 5

Use either "Double" or "Float" instead of "Integer"
