Python | A function that accepts 2 integers and adds them and returns their sum

Here we will go through two methods that are there to solve this problem. Let us take a look at each of them.

Method 1: Using function by passing arguments (int)

def add_two_num(a,b):
    sum=a+b;
    return sum; 
    
num1=int(input("Input the first number : "))
num2=int(input("Input the second number  :"))

print("The sum of given two numbers is",add_two_num(num1,num2))

Output:

def add_two_num(a,b):
    sum=a+b;
    return sum; 
num1=int(input("Input the first number : "))
num2=int(input("Input the second number  :"))
print("The sum of given two numbers is",add_two_num(num1,num2))

Explanation:

Simply defined the function that accepts two arguments. Used the + operator to add those two numbers and return the value stored in the sum variable. We used the input() function to accept the input from the user.

Method 2: Using function by passing arguments (float)

def add_two_num(a,b):
    sum=float(a)+float(b);
    return sum; 
    
num1=input("Input the first number : ")
num2=input("Input the second number  :")

print("The sum of given two numbers is",add_two_num(num1,num2))

Output:

Input the first number : 12.365
Input the second number  :12.563
The sum of given two numbers is 24.928

Here we simply used the float type so that we can process the decimal values and provide the answer in decimal.
