raw_input takes one argument.
While
>>> x = 5
>>> b = 10
>>> print x, "+", b, "=", x+b
will print 5 + 10 = 15, you could also have written it -
>>>print str(x) + " + " + str(b) + " = " + str(x+b)
Now, if I have a function -
def divByTen(number):
return number/10
I can call it like so -
>>>divByTen(100)
10
or
>>>divByTen(50+50)
10
As Python will resolve 50+50 first.
However,
>>>divByTen(50,50)
will produce this error -
TypeError: divByTen expected at most 1 arguments, got 2
See where I'm going with this?
One more thing, the comma only works for the print command.
