Python - 4: Numbers & Math

Python can work with numbers and perform basic math operations.

Your challenge: Try addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, then store a number in a variable and print it.

Basic math operators

Python uses familiar symbols for math: + for addition, - for subtraction, * for multiplication, and / for division.

For example: print(4 * 6) prints the result of the calculation.

Store numbers in variables

Numbers do not need quotation marks: score = 100

You can then use the variable in calculations: print(score + 25)

Try it: Change the numbers and create one calculation using two number variables.

Good Python habit: Use parentheses when you want to make the order of a calculation extra clear.

print(15 + 5)
print(30 - 10)
print(7 * 3)
print(40 / 8)

age = 25

print(age)

first_number = 8
second_number = 12

print(first_number + second_number)
