Using Python as a Calculator
- Numbers
Expression syntax is straightforward: the operators +, -, * and /
The integer numbers (e.g. 2, 4, 20) have type int, the ones with a fractional part (e.g. 5.0, 1.6) have type float.
2+2
50-5*6
(50-5*6)/4
- Strings
They can be enclosed in single quotes (‘…’) or double quotes (“…”) with the same result. \ can be used to escape quotes:
'spam eggs' # single quotes
' "Yes," they said.'
'\"Yes,\" they said.'
' "Isn\'t," they said.'
