Using Python As A Calculator

First of all, I would like to tell you one thing - the main motive of using Python is not to do raw calculations. You will perhaps never use python to calculate 3+8 or 34*232 for that matter.

Yeah, that’s true! Python is not just limited to do calculations. It has a vast number of uses and has many merits or advantages. Using Python you can do most of the things, such as creating games, apps, software, websites, etc. 

• To do calculations in Python, open Windows PowerShell (or terminal of your choice if you are on Linux or Mac) and type, "python" to open the Python interpreter. You will see a screen like this:

• Then simply type or put whatever mathematical calculation you want to do. 5+9, 6-9 choice is all yours!

When you type python, you are inside an interactive python shell where you can type anything and the value is displayed on the screen after the computation. That's how you can use python as a calculator.
