SyntaxError: positional argument follows keyword argument
#4

it's complaining because you pass keyword arguments, like 'end' and 'third' (which at later stage will raise unexpected keyword argument error anyway) then positional arguments "And another number:"

the one-liner solution with f-strings is
print(f"The answer is: {int(input('Enter first: ')) + int(input('Enter second: '))}")

but this is really terrible un-pythonic code and I strongly advise against it
