You can either cast them into the same variable name - altering type from cast
(or another one if you prefer)
x = input(" Enter the first number : " )
y = input(" Enter the second number : ")
x = float(x)
y = float(y)
print("The result : ", x + y)
Or cast them in the print statement
x = input(" Enter the first number : " )
y = input(" Enter the second number : ")
print("The result : ", float(x) + float(y))
Or cast them in the input request if you really wanted to (makes it harder to read I think though)
x = (float)(input(" Enter the first number : " ))
y = (float)(input(" Enter the second number : "))
print("The result : ", x + y)
Whatever you like really! Best of luck, and happy coding
