My son is learning Python and I know nothing about computers.
He's written a simple calculator program that doesn't work. For the life of me, I can't see why.
Any help gratefully received. Here's his code:
def a():
import sys
print("welcome to the calculation")
print("please type a number")
one = int(sys.stdin.readline())
print("type d for division,")
print("type m for multiplication,")
print("type s for subtraction,")
print("and type p for plus")
op = (sys.stdin.readline())
print("%s selected" % op)
print("please enter another number")
two = int(sys.stdin.readline())
if op == str(d):
out == one / two
print("the answer is %s" % out)
elif op == "m":
out == one * two
print("the answer is %s" % out)
elif op == "s":
out == one - two
print("the answer is %s" % out)
elif op == "p":
out == one + two
print("the answer is %s" % out)
else:
print("huh")
Where is he going wrong?
Many thanks in advance
