Using Python As A Calculator

 First of all, I would like to tell you one thing - the main motive of using Python is not to do raw calculations. You will perhaps never use python to calculate 3+8 or 34*232 for that matter.

Yeah, that’s true! Python is not just limited to do calculations. It has a vast number of uses and has many merits or advantages. Using Python you can do most of the things, such as creating games, apps, software, websites, etc. 

  • To do calculations in Python, open Windows PowerShell (or terminal of your choice if you are on Linux or Mac) and type, "python" to open the Python interpreter. You will see a screen like this:

  • Then simply type or put whatever mathematical calculation you want to do. 5+9, 6-9 choice is all yours!

When you type python, you are inside an interactive python shell where you can type anything and the value is displayed on the screen after the computation. That's how you can use python as a calculator.

And that’s how you can easily do any type of mathematical calculation in Python.

What Is Programming and Why Python?

  Guido Van Rossum created the Python Programming language in February 1991. Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Python allows us to create a game, build web apps, do general-purpose scripting, etc. Before we dive into the details of Python, let's understand what the term Programming or Coding means? Programming helps human beings to reduce hours of manual efforts. In today's era, demand for programming is growing rapidly; i.e., there is a huge need for software developers and programmers in IT (Tech) Industries. To write code on any language, we need a friendly platform where we can write the code and can execute it. For this, we use IDEs. IDE – An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a software application that provides many comprehensive facilities to programmers for software or application development. Python is used by many of the best tech companies. Few of those companies are: Instagram Facebook Google Reddit Spotify Quora D...
