How can I read inputs as numbers?

Question

How can I read inputs as numbers?

Why are x and y strings rather than ints within the below code?

(Note: in Python 2.x use raw_input(). In Python 3.x use input(). raw_input() was renamed to input() in Python 3.x)

play = True



while play:



    x = input("Enter a number: ")

    y = input("Enter a number: ")



    print(x + y)

    print(x - y)

    print(x * y)

    print(x / y)

    print(x % y)



    if input("Play again? ") == "no":

        play = False

input python3-x python

In Python 3.x, raw_input was renamed to input and the Python 2.x input was removed.

This means that, just like raw_input, input in Python 3.x always returns a string object.

To fix the problem, you need to explicitly make those inputs into integers by putting them in int:



x = int(input("Enter a number: "))

y = int(input("Enter a number: "))

For multiple integers in a single line, map might be better.



arr = map(int, input().split())

If the number is already known, (like 2 integers), you can use



num1, num2 = map(int, input().split())
