input defines variable but it's not defined

[tozqo]

I am just starting to learn python, and trying out a basic "calculator" from a couple YouTube videos. I have spent the last few hours trying to figure out why a previous draft would only return "No comprende", only to have it suddenly start working. The current draft is returning an error after inputting the 2 numbers and a basic function, defining all variables to that point.

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<file path>", line 31, in <module>
   compute()
 File "<file path>", line 19, in compute
   if(var == 'add'):
NameError: name 'var' is not defined

I am editing in IDLE and running in the Python 3.6.1 shell.

#basic math functions
def addit():
   return num1 + num2
def mult():
   return num1 * num2
def divide():
   return num1 / num2
def minus():
   return num1 - num2

#inputs for numbers and operation
def inputs():
   num1 = int(input("Pick a number"))
   num2 = int(input("Pick another number"))
   var = input("What do you want to do with these numbers? (add, subtract, multiply, or divide)")

#complete and display computation or invalid input
def compute():
   if(var == 'add'):
       print(addit())
   elif(var == 'subtract'):
       print(minus())
   elif(var == 'multiply'):
       print(mult())
   elif(var == 'divide'):
       print(divide())
   elif(var != 'add' and var != 'subtract' and var != 'multiply' and var != 'divide'):
       print("No comprende")

#calls functions and do again
inputs()
compute()
moar = input("again? yes or no")
if(moar == 'yes'):
   inputs()
   compute()

After reading through a couple other threads, I added a return to the inputs function, but it had no effect.

def inputs():
   num1 = int(input("Pick a number"))
   num2 = int(input("Pick another number"))
   var = input("What do you want to do with these numbers? (add, subtract, multiply, or divide)")
   return(num1,num2,var)

Anyone able to point out my problem other than being green as grass and thick as a stump?
