我可以要求用户输入任何基本的算术方程，而不必要求计算每个单独的数字吗？

Question

I am a complete beginner in coding. I want to make a simple math calculator using Python. Instead of the traditional method of asking the user to input 2 separate integers (in this example addition)

num1 = int(input("Enter a number: "))
num2 = int(input("Enter a number: "))
total = num1 + num2
print(total)

I would like the user to immediately input

1+1

or any other simple math that may involve one or a combination of the following: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. Is it possible to do so?

Answer 1

you could also separate the input into a list. For example, when you input "1 + 1" there are functions in Python to separate all the characters in the list. It can make it ["1", "+", "1"]. With this, you can read each individual character and use them like input[2] to find the operation.
