直接输入数学

Question

I just started my first day at uni and there is one of the exercises I am already struggling with. This is the problem: Make code that inputs two given mumbers and output one minus the other

I did this:

number1 = int(raw_input("Type your first number: "))
number2 = int(raw_input("Type your second number: "))
result = number1 - number2
print result

But it was wrong because the input is direct so when the program tested my code it said:

I have always done code that first asks for the information so I have no idea if this is even possible in python or how you do it. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

you need to use :

number1, number2 = map(int, raw_input().split())
result = number1 - number2
print result

In the sample input both the numbers are separated by space, and there is no prompt for the user such as "Type your first number: " , So all yo need to do is take input using raw_input() , then splitting the input on " " (space) by using .split() and then converting each string after splitting to int using the map function.
