Assign total_owls with the sum of num_owls_A and num_owls_B.

Sample output with inputs: 3 4
Number of owls: 7

This is what is given to me
total_owls = 0

num_owls_A = input()
num_owls_B = input()

print('Number of owls:', total_owls)

my code
total_owls = num_owls_A + num_owls_B

That gets me 34 for some reason instead of 7. What am I doing wrong?

To debug a code, means that we locate and fix the errors in a code.

The issue with your code is that:

You did not convert num_owls_A and num_owls_B to integers, when adding them together.

The fix to this is that:

You need to convert num_owls_A and num_owls_B to integers, when adding them together.

The fix is as follows:

total_owls = int(num_owls_A) + int(num_owls_B)

The updated code is as follows:

total_owls = 0

num_owls_A = input()

num_owls_B = input()

total_owls = int(num_owls_A) + int(num_owls_B)

print('Number of owls:', total_owls)

The above code will perform addition operations for all inputs
