Add Two Numbers with User Input

In this example, the user must input two numbers. Then we print the sum by calculating (adding) the two numbers:

x = input("Type a number: ")
y = input("Type another number: ")

sum = int(x) + int(y)

print("The sum is: ", sum)

x = input("Type a number: ")

y = input("Type another number: ")

sum = int(x) + int(y)

print("The sum is: ", sum)
