You can run all of these in Spyder. Copy the code, and paste into the code editor window.
Here's the first program.
- toes_per_foot = 5
- feet = 2
- total_toes = toes_per_foot * 2
- print(total_toes)
Try it in Spyder. Any questions about this one?

You didn't use an input here.
Right. The = puts the value on the right into the variable on the left. Python doesn't care where the value comes from. Python would be happy with all of these:
- toes_per_foot = 5
- toes_per_foot = float(input('How many toes on a foot'))
- toes_per_foot = 3 + 2
As long as the thing on the right of the = sends back a number, Python will put the number into toes_per_foot, no matter where the number comes from.
Another example.
- jan = 31
- feb = 28
- mar = 31
- april = 30
- may = 31
- june = 30
- july = 31
- aug = 31
- sept = 30
- octbr = 31
- nov = 30
- dec = 31
- winter = dec + jan + feb
- spring = mar + april + may
- summer = june + july + aug
- fall = sept + octbr + nov
- year = winter + spring + summer + fall
- print(year)
OK, I know it's not accurate. Just go with it.
winter is an intermediate variable. Computed from a few months, the used to work out year. It only exists to make the code easier to think about.

So you could have done:
- year = jan + feb + ...
Aye. But the code would be harder to scan for errors. Simple is good.
