Understand that when I say "one line" I don't mean one line of code but instead one line of inputso instead of
5*840
It would just be
5\*8 \40
or even
5\*8=40
and could be multiple digits like so:
54+66=120
I don't want the exact answer, this is a small project where I'm messing around with Python to get better and just knowing exactly what needs done would ruin the point. Just a general idea of what to look in to would be great.
Also, So stack overflow doesn't say this is a duplicate question:
I am asking how to take a string and take certain pieces to use for if statements
5*8
and it registers as:
number operator number
Here's my code
num1 = int(input("First Number:"))symOper = input("Operation Symbol:")num2 = int(input("Second Number:"))if symOper == "*": solve = num1 * num2 print(solve)if symOper == "/": solve = num1 / num2 print(solve)if symOper == "+": solve = num1 + num2 print(solve)if symOper == "-": solve = num1 - num2 print(solve)
EDIT
I found an answer that was simple and also reusable so I'm sharing it here.User @AndreiS typed
