Python Extremely Simple Calculator Literally adds the numbers

So I'm making a very simple calculator as my first real project in python on to which I will add more features but now the problem is that it adds numbers literally so if i type 2 as the first number and 3 as the second it will give 23: This is my code

a = input ('Enter the first number')
b = input ('Enter the second number')
c = (a+b)
print (c)

In Python 2.7, input takes only numberical values. But in Python 3.x, input() returns a string. So you are literaaly concatenating two strings in your code. So, cast them to int

a = int(input ('Enter the first number'))
b = int(input ('Enter the second number'))

This converts the numbers to integers and then adds them

input returns a string in py3.x, use int() to convert that string to an integer:

a = int(input ('Enter the first number'))
b = int(input ('Enter the second number'))
