How To Add Two Numbers?

You have two numbers and you need to add them together. You're in luck! The calculator package can help you get this done.

Download the code from this GitHub repository and place the calculator/ folder in the same directory as your Python script:

your_project/
│
├── calculator/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── calculations.py
│
└── your_script.py

Inside of your_script.py you can now import the add() function from the calculator.calculations module:

# your_script.py
from calculator.calculations import add

After you've imported the function, you can use it to add any two numbers that you need to add:

# your_script.py
from calculator.calculations import add

print(add(20, 22))  # OUTPUT: 42.0

You're now able to add any two numbers, and you'll always get a float as a result.
