making a text based calculator in python code example

Example 1: simple python calculator

#Store number variables for the two numbers

num1 = input('Enter first number: ')
num2 = input('Enter second number: ')

#the sum of the two numbers variable
sum = float(num1) + float(num2)
sum2 = float(num1) - float(num2)
sum3 = float(num1) * float(num2)
sum4 = float(num1) / float(num2)

#what operator to use
choice = input('Enter an operator, + = addition, - = subtraction, * = multiplication and / = division: ')
#different sums based on the operators
if choice == '+':
  print('The sum of {0} and {1} is {2}'.format(num1, num2, sum))

  if choice == '-':
    print('The sum of {0} and {1} is {2}'.format(num1, num2, sum2))

if choice == '*':
    print('The sum of {0} and {1} is {2}'.format(num1, num2, sum3))

if choice == '/':
    print('The sum of {0} and {1} is {2}'.format(num1, num2, sum4))

Example 2: how to create calculator in python

# Program make a simple calculator

# This function adds two numbers
def add(x, y):
    return x + y

# This function subtracts two numbers
def subtract(x, y):
    return x - y

# This function multiplies two numbers
def multiply(x, y):
    return x * y

# This function divides two numbers
def divide(x, y):
    return x / y


print("Select operation.")
print("1.Add")
print("2.Subtract")
print("3.Multiply")
print("4.Divide")

while True:
    # Take input from the user
    choice = input("Enter choice(1/2/3/4): ")

    # Check if choice is one of the four options
    if choice in ('1', '2', '3', '4'):
        num1 = float(input("Enter first number: "))
        num2 = float(input("Enter second number: "))

        if choice == '1':
            print(num1, "+", num2, "=", add(num1, num2))

        elif choice == '2':
            print(num1, "-", num2, "=", subtract(num1, num2))

        elif choice == '3':
            print(num1, "*", num2, "=", multiply(num1, num2))

        elif choice == '4':
            print(num1, "/", num2, "=", divide(num1, num2))
        break
    else:
        print("Invalid Input")
