How to Add Numbers in Python
To add numbers in Python, you can use the + operator or the += operator.
The following examples show how to add numbers in Python using different methods.
Using + Operator
We can use the + operator to add numbers in Python.
Suppose we have the following numbers:
# Declare numbers
a = 5
b = 6
# Add numbers
result = a + b
print("Result of addition:", result)
Output: 👇️
Result of addition: 11
In this example, we use the + operator to add the numbers a and b.
Using += Operator
We can use the += operator to add numbers in Python.
Suppose we have the following number:
# Declare number
a = 5
# Add number
a += 11
print("Result of addition:", a)
Output: 👇️
Result of addition: 16
In this example, we use the += operator to add 11 to the number a.
