so i am trying to build a calculator that can do basic math but a problem that i have is that i cant figure out how to ask the user for input and with that input ask for the certain amount of numbers (based on the users input).
i didnt really explain it well but thats all i can do 
Below is my code:
math1 = raw_input("Please type the symbol of the math action you wish to do: ")
if action == “+” :
num1 = float(input("Give the first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Give the second number: "))
print (num1 + num2)
if action == “*” :
num1 = float(input("Give the first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Give the second number: "))
print (num1 * num2)
if action == “/” :
num1 = (input("Give the first number: "))
num2 = (input("Give the second number: "))
print (num1 / num2)
if action == “-” :
num1 = float(input("Give the first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Give the second number: "))
print (num1 - num2)
exit1 = raw_input("Type ‘e’ or if you wish to exit: ")
