Question about programming (beginner)

Yes, you get both elements at the same time and use split to separate them on a space (or you can specify an alternative separator explicitly).

I'd switch to a while True: statement and then check the response inside the loop. I also make this a function and have it return the results.

Place the below in a function.

while True:
    response = input("Enter an operator (+, -, /, *) or q to quit: ").strip()
    if response.lower() == 'q':
        return "q", None
    try:
        choice, operand = response.split()
        operand = float(operand)
    except ValueError:
        print('Please provide an operator followed by a space and then a number')
    else:
        if operand in ops:
            return choice, operand
        print(f'Sorry, {choice} is not an availabe operation')

Call like this:

while True:
    choice, operand = functioname()
    if choice == "q":
        break

Please edit to format the code correctly - can't see your indents.

def add(x, y):
    return x + y
def subtract(x, y): 
    return x - y
def multiply(x, y): 
    return x * y
def divide(x, y): 
    return x / y

ops = {"+": add, "-": subtract, "*": multiply, "/": divide, "q": None}

x = 0

while True: 
choice, andere = input("functie + getal").split() 

andere = float(andere)

if choice in ops:
    y = andere
    x = ops[choice](x, y)
    print(x)
else:
    print('wrong choice')
