Finding the difference between two numbers using Python

To find the difference between two numbers using Python, you can simply subtract one number from the other using the - operator. Here’s an example:

num1 = 10
num2 = 5
diff = num1 - num2
print(diff) # Output: 5

In this example, we define two variables num1 and num2 with the values of 10 and 5, respectively. We then subtract num2 from num1 using the - operator and store the result in a new variable diff. Finally, we print the value of diff, which is 5 in this case.

You can also take input from the user to find the difference between two numbers using the input() function. Here’s an example:

num1 = int(input("Enter the first number: "))
num2 = int(input("Enter the second number: "))
diff = num1 - num2
print(diff)
Enter the first number: 20
Enter the second number: 19
1

In this example, we use the input() function to take two integer inputs from the user and store them in the variables num1 and num2. We then subtract num2 from num1 using the - operator and store the result in a new variable diff. Finally, we print the value of diff, which is the difference between the two numbers entered by the user.
