Okay, so today I was messing around with, uh, creating the number 80. Sounds simple, right? But I wanted to do it in a few different ways, just for kicks and to, you know, see what’s what.
First Attempt: Plain Old Print
My first thought was, “Let’s just print it.” So, I fired up my, um, text editor, and typed this:
print(80)
Boom. There it was. 80. Done. But, like, that’s way too easy, I need to do more.
Second Attempt: Variables, I Guess
Next, I figured, maybe use a variable? It is slightly more involved.
So I did:
my_number = 80
print(my_number)
It still print 80. Feels the same, just, you know, with extra steps. I need to get creative.
Third Attempt: Math!
Okay, now I’m thinking, let’s make 80. I did some really, really basic addition:
result = 70 + 10
print(result)
Yep, still 80. It works! But my brain thought: Use subtraction?
result = 100 – 20
print(result)
Again, 80. I feel I getting somewhere! I could even do multiplication and, uh, division:
result = 8 10
print(result)
And then:
result = 160 / 2
print(result)
Still 80 every time. Getting a little predictable, but at least I’m doing something, right?
Fourth Attempt: Getting Fancy (Not Really)
I decided to put the number into a, uh, list. I don’t know why, just…because.
- my_list = [80]
Then, to get it out of the list, I did:
print(my_list[0])
Yep, 80. Still 80. I guess that’s… something. I add it into a list.
Fifth Attempt: …I’m Running Out of Ideas
Honestly, I’m kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel here. I tried to make a string:
number_string = “80”
print(number_string)
I get “80”, but now I can’t do math with it. That’s it.
So, yeah, that’s my incredibly exciting journey of making the number 80 in several basic, not-very-exciting ways. I have printed, created and calculated 80 successfully!
