Based on the context you've provided, the response that best explains the issue and how to fix it appears to be the one that addresses the need to convert string inputs into integers. When the inputs are strings, if num1 = "3"
and num2 = "7"
, the values will be concatenated to form plus = "37"
instead of being added numerically.
Here's the relevant explanation:
The inputs are strings. If num1 = "3" and num2 = "7", the strings are concatenated so plus = "37". In this case, the output is "The sum of your numbers is 37". To fix, you need to convert num1 and num2 to integers. One way would be to wrap the input statements. Line 1 & 2 would read the following: num1 = int(input("Input a number: ")) num2 = int(input("Input a second number: "))
This response accurately identifies the problem and provides a clear solution for fixing it.
