Can someone help me if someone puts in the wrong operator is still registers as multiplication.

try: num1 = float(input('Enter number')) except: print('Invalid input') oper = input('-|+|x|/|') try: num2 = float(input('Enter number')) except: print('inavalid input') if oper == ('-'): result = num1 - num2 elif oper == ('+'): result = num1 + num2 elif oper == ('/'): result = num1 / num2 elif oper == ('x') or oper == ('*'): result = num1 * num2 else: print('invalid operator') print(result) https://code.sololearn.com/cSbaV08ZnwE1/?ref=app

Firstly test1 and test2 are never assigned which would throw an error. But that's not what you're asking about you're asking about why (oper == 'x' or '*') always return true, that's because it converts your '*' into true.

Simply, you should tweak the code: if oper == 'x' or oper == '*':

It doesn't seem like test1 and test2 were ever used in your program. You could have just done: if oper == ('-'): result = num1 - num2 elif oper == ('+'): result = num1 + num2 elif oper == ('/'): result = num1 / num2 elif oper == ('x') or oper == ('*'): result = num1 * num2 else: print('invalid operator')
