Awesome that you are learning Python! Indeed it is for all ages! What
does the question say, exactly (maybe quote it)? And definitely post
your answer to the question as well. It's better for us to work with
what you have already.

Darn, I've just been dethroned from my resident oldest fart on this list
throne, I'm only 78.

Cheers, Gene

Hello George,

I found the book you're referring to via google (searching for: tony
gaddis starting out with python). The question is this:

3. Write assignment statements that perform the following operations
with the variables a,b and c.
a. Adds 2 to a and assigns the result to b
b. Multiplies b times 4 and assigns the result to a
c. Divides a by 3.14 and assigns the result to b
d. Subtracts 8 from and assigns the result to a

The typical way this list helps in homework assignments is
for the student to post his solution first, and then
let someone explain if/why something is wrong, and how to
go about the right solution.

I think you will have a lot of fun learning python.
It's very rewarding.

Best regards,
Stefaan.

d. Subtracts 8 from and assigns the result to a

this should read: "Subtracts 8 from b and assigns the result to a"

Funny how none of the assignments involve a variable c, despite the
question

This is one I have looked at recently, written by a teacher:
