The objective of this was to write a program that asks the user to enter two integer numbers x and y. The program should ask the user to select one of the following operations and display the results back:

1-    The sum x + y

2-    The difference x – y

3-    The product x * y

4-    The quotient x/y

5-    The remainder x%y

6-    Whether x is less than, equal, or greater than y

During my process of creating this program the most difficult part was creating the program within the while loop. I had to manipulate my script so that the program can run without any syntax or indentation errors.

print (‘ you have entered zero. End of program.’)
