Python Error

[yonatancc]

So i started making a really simple calculator. im just a begginer it was a good training for me.

print("Hello there, enter your first number")
num1 = input()
print("Enter your second number")
num2 = input()
print("What Do you want to do with these numbers? Please enter Divide/Add/Remove/Duplicate")
thing = input()
if thing == "Duplicate":
        print(int(num1 * num2))
if thing == "Remove":
        print(int(num1 - num2))
if thing == "Divide":
        print(int(num1 / num2))
if thing == "Add":
        print(int(num1 + num2))

When i use the add command i am getting the two numbers combined. lets say i did 4 and 4 so im getting 44
and the rest of the commands simply show me this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Yonatan/PycharmProjects/Python Programs/Calculator.py", line 8, in <module>
print(int(num1 * num2))
TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'str'


Thank you very much for helping!

you have your integer conversion at the wrong place.
it should be on the input.

print(int(num1 + num2))

says add string num1 to string num2 and then convert bazaar result to integer

You are trying to multiply to strings together, num1 and num2. You need them to be numeric prior to you calculation, in your case, since you're trying to make a calculator is to make them 'floats':

num1 = float(input())

In fact, save yourself some time and paper with:

num1 = float(input("Hello there, enter your first number"))
