Python Programming Help (Basic Level)

[Dazzle]

Hello:

 

I am trying to make a program where the value of a variable (example: +age) can be used to do math.

 

So let's say I ask someone for their age. I want to make a program that does math BASED on that answer. How do I do this? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

I took a course last year that included Python.  I haven't touched it since, but here's a website we were using as a reference in class:

Super simple easy to break way:

 

ageVariable = int(input("Enter an age"))
print(f"Age is {ageVariable}")

Use input to get the age, and use the int function to convert it to an integer right away, so you can perform calculations.

Print it out using an f-string so you concatenate a string and int together.

Just to elaborate further, you can use that ageVariable in conjunction with an 'if' statement to do your math based on the answer you get.

 

Not savvy with Python syntax but essentially, 

 

If (ageVariable < 40) {

     // do math

    }

Very nice guys! Thank you very much.
