Basic Calculator Program

Create a simple Python program that asks the user to input two numbers and a mathematical operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division). Perform the operation based on the user's input and print the result. Example: If a user inputs 10, 5, and +, your program should display 10 + 5 = 15.

def calculator(): try: # Get user input num1 = float(input("Enter the first number: ")) num2 = float(input("Enter the second number: ")) operation = input("Enter an operation (+, -, *, /): ")

    # Perform the operation
    if operation == '+':
        result = num1 + num2
    elif operation == '-':
        result = num1 - num2
    elif operation == '*':
        result = num1 * num2
    elif operation == '/':
        if num2 == 0:
            print("Error: Division by zero is not allowed.")
            return
        result = num1 / num2
    else:
        print("Invalid operation. Please enter +, -, *, or /.")
        return

    # Display the result
    print(f"{num1} {operation} {num2} = {result}")

except ValueError:
    print("Error: Please enter valid numbers.")
