I'm fairly new to python and have tried to develop a calculator. I have created it so that it keeps asking you questions until you press 9 and exits. I have made an error while doing this and it keeps asking me to enter first number and keeps looping that
loop = 1
oper = 0
while loop == 1:
num1 = input("Enter the first number: ")
print num1
oper = input("+, -, *, /,9: ")
print oper
num2 = input("Enter the second number: ")
print num2
if oper == "+":
result = int(num1) + int(num2)
elif oper == "-":
result = int(num1) - int(num2)
elif oper == "*":
result = int(num1) * int(num2)
elif oper == "/":
result = int(num1) / int(num2)
elif oper == "9":
loop = 0
print "The result of " + str(num1) + str(oper) + str(num2) + " is " + str(result)
input("\nPress 9 to exit.")
You had problem with indentation and here's a better way to exit using break for the while loop:
loop = 1
oper = 0
while loop == 1:
x = input("Press 9 to exit otherwise anything to continue:")#much better way
if x == "9":
break
num1 = input("Enter the first number: ")
print (num1)
oper = input("+, -, *, /: ")
print (oper)
num2 = input("Enter the second number: ")
print (num2)
if oper == "+":
result = int(num1) + int(num2)
elif oper == "-":
result = int(num1) - int(num2)
elif oper == "*":
result = int(num1) * int(num2)
elif oper == "/":
result = int(num1) / int(num2):
else:
print("Invalid operator!") #if user inputs something else other than those
print ("The result of " + str(num1) + str(oper) + str(num2) + " is " + str(result))
