Code:

# age-O-meter

age1 = raw_input("how old are you?")
age2 = raw_input("how old is your friend?")
age1 - age2
calculate = age1, - age2

ok lets says u set how old are you to 30 and how old is your friend to 50 the result should be 20 put its not working and idk what i did wrong

i know that i need to put int some where i just dont know how to do it

[bojak71730]

ok i figured out my problem anyone know how not to make it a negative number?

[bojak71730]

nvm dont need help with that either its common sense i should put it so the friend question gets asked first then your age should get asked second

# age-O-meter

age1 = raw_input("how old are you?")
age2 = raw_input("how old is your friend?")
age1 - age2
calculate = age1, - age2

I suppose you could also use an if statement, say...

if age1 >= age2:
  calculate = age1 - age2
else:
  calculate = age2 - age1

Seems like it would work to me, but i am just learning.
