Solution Exercise 2

Write a program that asks the user for two numbers and store them in two variables called num1 and num2. Add them together and store the result in a variable called result and print the result back to the user.

NOTE! All input we get from the input function will be stored as strings so num1 and num2 must first be converted to integers with the int() function.


def main():
    num1 = input("Enter the first number: ")
    num1 = int(num1) #Convert num1 to an integer
    num2 = input("Enter the second number: ")
    num2 = int(num2) #Convert num2 to an integer
    result = num1 + num2
    print("The result is", result)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
