Your task for this exercise is to write a program to add together two numbers typed in by a user. Here's what a typical output from the program might look like:
The hard part of this exercise is making sure that you're working with numbers when you need numbers, and text when you need text.
To being with, create a new program called Slack adder.py. Within this create two variables to equal the two inputs typed in by your user.
You'll need to use the int() function to convert the text typed in by your user into integers, otherwise you won't be able to subsequently add the two numbers together. You can assume that your user will be well-behaved and type in only numbers.
Create a third variable to hold the sum of your two numbers, then print out your results (this time you'll need to use the str() function to turn your numbers back into text, before using the + sign to concatenate the bits of text you need to form your message).
When your program is working to your satisfaction, save it and close it down!
