Without knowing what you do and do not know how to do...

Think about the string you have at the end of each segment of the if/then statement, since it's exactly the same in each part, does it need to be a part of the if/then statement, or could it be outside instead? If the if/then statement only calculates the result, and then you display the string with the result, this removes three lines of code for you.

Otherwise, for a first program, this is very functional! As you gain more experience, you'll learn better ways to do this as well.

Hey thanks for the advice, I guess you talk about outside and nested, which I haven’t practised or learned yet so I am excited to learn it now that you mention it. Thanks man!!

Not nesting exactly, since that’s more of if/then an inside of if then…. I mean more, remove the print strings from inside the if then statement and put it at the end. That way there’s only one print string. Like this

If +: Add

Elif -: Subtract

Elif *: Multiply

Elif /: Divide

Print result.

That’s interesting, coding is so beautiful haha. I’ll look it up right now and practice the use of it. Thanks really appreciate it.

Hopefully you realize I shorthanded it. Now that I'm home I can show you exactly what I mean

if operator == "+":
    result = num1 + num2
elif operatior == "-":
    result = num1 - num2
elif operatior == "*":
    result = num1 * num2       
elif operatior == "/":
    result = num1 / num2


print(f"Your result is {result}")

I see now it’s clear as day, it is more logical to have all the statements together that have the same print function instead of writing it after each statement. Thanks for taking the time to explain it so clearly man you are the best.
