how to remove punctuation from string in input-CodePudding

import random


q = random.randint(10, 100)
w = random.randint(10, 100)
e = (q, " * ", w)
r = int(input(e))

This outputs (i.e):

(60, ' * ', 24)

I tried following this post but i faced an error.

I want output to atleast look like:

(60 * 24)

What I tried was doing

import random


q = random.randint(10, 100)
w = random.randint(10, 100)
**e = (q   " * "   w)**
r = int(input(e))

Which gave me the error.

CodePudding user response：

A great way to do this is with f-strings

e = f"{q} * {w}"

You just need to start your string with an f, then include any variables in curly braces {}

CodePudding user response：

Your value e has mixed types. q and w are ints while the string is a string. Python prints the types in the tuple as their types. Those quotation marks are not in the values they see, they are a built-in helper in python's display

You will need to coerce all three into the same type to do something with them, eg

>>> eval(str(q)   ' * '   str(w))

That's the low level pointer, but higher level I need to ask, what are you trying to do?
