Adding input values

I want to add up the numbers in the row (w, x, y, z are all a part of a row) that the user gives me. I tried doing this:

(w, x, y, z) = input("Enter values: ").split()

row = w + x + y + z
print(row)

but it does not work.

input returns strings not integer or float value. You need to convert the strings you get to integers.

w, x, y, z = input('Enter values: ').split()
row = int(w) + int(x) + int(y) + int(z)

or you can loop through the digits:

numbers = input('Enter values: ').split()
for integer in numbers:
   total += integer

Keep in mind that with this code if the user enters anything other than 4 digits the code will not work. You can fix that by implementing try and except blocks or checks when receiving the input like so:

run = True
While run:
   try:
      w, x, y, z = input('Enter values: ').split()
      row = int(w) + int(x) + int(y) + int(z)
      run = False
   except Exception as e:
      print(e)
      print("Please enter 4 digits seperated by a single space")

This will make the code loop until the user follows the instructions.

Hey try this out!

row = input("Enter Values: ")
row = row.split()
n = 0
for num in row:
    n += int(num)
print(n)

This way you can have as much as values as you want!

w, x ,y ,z = input("Enter values: ").split()
print(w + x + y + z)

Make sure you insert exactly 4 values or else you will get an error

(w, x, y, z) = input("Enter values: ").split()

row = int(w) + int(x) + int(y) + int(z)
print(row)

This code should do the job. You must remember that the input function returns a string which needs to be converted into integer using the int() function.

In your code, it gets concatenated since the numbers are considered as strings.

Cheers!

the values you tried adding, are string, so you need to map them into integers, and unpack them as such.

w, x, y, z = list(map(int, input("Enter values: ").split()))

row = w + x + y + z
print(row)
