Program to add two numbers in Python

# Program to add two numbers in Python

# Prompt the user to enter the first number

num1 = float(input("Enter the first number: "))

# Prompt the user to enter the second number

num2 = float(input("Enter the second number: "))

# Add the two numbers together and store the result in a variable

result = num1 + num2

# Display the result to the user

print("The sum of", num1, "and", num2, "is", result)

In this program, we first use the input() function to prompt the user to enter the first and second numbers. We use the float() function to convert the user input from a string to a floating-point number, which allows us to perform arithmetic operations on the numbers.

We then add the two numbers together using the + operator and store the result in a variable named result. Finally, we use the print() function to display the result to the user in a human-readable format.

Note that in this program, we assume that the user will enter valid numeric input. If the user enters a non-numeric value, the program will crash with a Value Error exception. To handle this case gracefully, you could add error checking and input validation to the program.
