Work With Strings and Numbers (Exercise)
00:00
And you’ll continue with some more input exercises. This one is called Working With Strings and Numbers. Write a program that uses the input() function twice to get two numbers from the user, multiplies the numbers together, and displays the result.
00:14
If the user enters 2 and 4, for example, the new program should print the following text: The product of 2 and 4 is 8.0. What you can see here is that the result should be displayed as a floating-point number.
00:28
And then keep in mind that the input() function always creates a string, that you can convert certain strings into actual numbers using the int() and the float() functions, and that you can convert numbers to strings using the string function, str().
00:45 So what you’ll have to do is user input collection, then type conversion, and then also a little bit of math and displaying it back to the user. Give it a try by yourself, and then if you want, you can watch the next lesson, where I’ll solve the task.
