Question

Write a statement that assigns finalResult with the sum of num1 and num2, divided by 3. Ex: If num1 is 4 and num2 is 5, finalResult is 3.

Answer 1

Written using Python 3:

num1 = int(input("Enter first value: "))

num2 = int(input("Enter second value: "))

finalResult =(num1+num2) / 3

print("Answer is: ", finalResult)

INPUT:

Enter first value: 4

Enter second value: 5

OUTPUT:

Answer is: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to declare the variables:

• num1 and num2

Second is to ask for an input:

• input("Enter first value: ")

Then we need to convert them into integers by encapsulating the line above inside int(). This is a requirement before you can do any mathematical operations with the given values.

• num1 = int(input("Enter first value: "))

Next is to calculate:

• finalResult =(num1+num2) / 3
• Here we first add the values of num1 and num2, then divide the sum by 3.

And to test if the output is correct, let us print it:

• print("Answer is: ", finalResult)

• print() - when used for strings/texts, use quotation marks like: "text here"
• but when used to print variables and numbers (integers, floats, etc), there is no need to enclose them with quotation marks.
• to concatenate string and an integer (in this case the variable finalResult), simply add a comma right after the string.
