Simple math Q - ebolisa - Nov-27-2020
// answer = 60/5(7-5) =?6 ?24 a = 60 b = 5 c = 7 d = 5 res = a / b (c - d) print(res)
Quote:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/SharedFiles/Python/practice/temp.py", line 6, in <module>
res = a / b (c - d)
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
What's up with this simple ecuation?
TIA
RE: Simple math Q - ndc85430 - Nov-27-2020
Well, what you've written suggests you're trying to use
b as a function, i.e b(c - d) is interpreted as a function call. Did you mean to do a multiplication?
RE: Simple math Q - deanhystad - Nov-27-2020
There is no operator betweec b and (c so you must be trying to call a function named b.

Yes, missing the '*' Thank you.

It is a common mistake for students. In mathematics the juxtaposition of two terms means multiplication. An explicit operator is needed in programming languages.
