Your question is not clear.  Neither is your subject line.  It seems that
maybe you are using a book written by Tony Gaddis.  I googled that and
didn't come up with anything.  Anyway, I don't have that book.  You will
get an answer to your question if you ask it more clearly -- perhaps quote
from the book.  Also, paste into your question the code you have tried and
the results you have gotten.

Awesome that you are learning Python!  Indeed it is for all ages!  What
does the question say, exactly (maybe quote it)?  And definitely post
your answer to the question as well.  It's better for us to work with
what you have already.

Hello George,

I found the book you're referring to via google (searching for: tony 
gaddis starting out with python). The question is this:

3. Write assignment statements that perform the following operations 
with the variables a,b and c.
a. Adds 2 to a and assigns the result to b
b. Multiplies b times 4 and assigns the result to a
c. Divides a by 3.14 and assigns the result to b
d. Subtracts 8 from and assigns the result to a

The typical way this list helps in homework assignments is
for the student to post his solution first, and then
let someone explain if/why something is wrong, and how to
go about the right solution.

I think you will have a lot of fun learning python.
It's very rewarding.

Best regards,
Stefaan.

> d. Subtracts 8 from and assigns the result to a

this should read: "Subtracts 8 from b and assigns the result to a"

Funny how none of the assignments involve a variable c, despite the 
question :)

Darn, I've just been dethroned from my resident oldest fart on this list 
throne, I'm only 78.

Cheers, Gene

This is one I have looked at recently, written by a teacher:
