Choosing an Operation

Pick with if.

Let the User Choose! 🎛️

Hi captain! 🧑‍✈️ A real calculator lets YOU pick what to do: add, subtract, multiply, or divide! 🎛️

To do that, we use the magic word if! Let's learn it!

print('What math should I do? ➕➖✖️➗')

First, we ask the user which operation they want. We save their answer in a box called choice. ❓

choice = input('Type + or - or * or /: ')
print('You chose', choice)
