Coding Quiz

In this coding quiz, you are tasked with writing a function that takes two integers and an operation type as inputs and performs the corresponding arithmetic operation.

Write a program that takes two integers and an operation type from the user and performs the chosen operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) on those numbers.

The operation types are as follows:

  • 'a': addition

  • 'b': subtraction

  • 'm': multiplication

  • 'd': division

def solution(a, b, operation):
    return # Write your code here

Hint​

  • Use if and elif statements to branch according to the input operation type.
  • Be cautious that the second number is not zero when performing division.

Using what you've learned so far, write a program that takes two integers and an operation type as inputs, performs the corresponding operation, and checks if it passes the test.



Input/Output Examples​

  • Input: 6, 3, 'a'
  • Output: 9
  • Input: 10, 5, 'd'
  • Output: 2.0
  • Input: 7, 2, 'm'
  • Output: 14
  • Input: 9, 3, 'x'
  • Output: "Invalid operation. Please choose one of 'a', 'b', 'm', 'd'."
