Historically, computers were used to execute complex mathematical calculations. One of the first substantial computers was also called ENIAC: Electrical Numerical Integrator and Calculator (read more here!). Just like all programming languages, Python can still serve as a calculator. Understanding how to do arithmetics with Python is vital for almost all your upcoming Python projects too.
You will explore Python as a calculator. We will go over the following basic operations:
Your task is to explore these operations. Write a program called `calculations.py` that prints the answers to the following in order:
The aim of this assignment is to explore arithmetics in Python. All you have to do is put these static calculations in `print` statements. Print everything on a new line using multiple prints.
