231,275 PointsLooks like you're off to a good start! But I wasn't quite sure if you were simply experimenting with different ways of doing things or not. In case not, here's a few suggestions for future projects:
- if you make some inputs case-insensitive, it might make sense to make them all that way
- the same case insensitivity trick can also prevent needing to compare to multiple answer versions
- you can save on numeric conversions by just comparing to strings (like:
mathAdd == "4") - in an "else if" chain, the last term can be a plain "else" since all other cases have been handled
- inequalities can save needing multiple comparisons (like "
else if (right >= 3)")

Python Development Techdegree Graduate 13,757 PointsThanks, that was incredibly helpful greatly appreciate the feedback. There is definitely a lot of experimenting going on and some lack of knowledge. Is it proper etiquette to declare variables at the top or is that not a thing?
Steven Parker

And happy holidays!
