Ok, I'm trying to write a math program for fun... asks what operation you wanna




















































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































run.. and then how many numbers. I got it to work for adding.. but subtracting




















































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































no so much. Heres what I have for that

def minus():
num =input ("How many numbers you want to subtract? ")
num = int(num)
result = []
for i in range(num):
number=int(input(f'Please enter the (i+1) value :'))
result.append(int((number)))
def sub(number):
total=0
for i in number:
total - = i
return total
print ("your total is:, (sub(result)))

I ran this and it seems to add the numbers as a negative interger. Thoughts?

def sub(number):
total=0
for i in number:
total - = i
return total

total -= i is the same as total = total - i

You start off by setting total to 0, and hence get negative integers since
you start subtracting from 0.

ok ok, this makes some sense... now the question is should I even have a line setting the total. I'll try and play around with this a bit.. but at least I have a direction. Thanks!

You should probably initialize the total with the first number in the list instead of 0.
