We will pass in 2 values, x and y. you should calculate xy xy and output only the final result. you will probably know that xy xy can be calculated as x times itself y times. # get x and y from the command line: import sysx= int(sys. argv[1])y= int(sys. argv[2])# your code goes here

import sys

# The value of the second argument is assigned to X

x = int(sys.argv[1])

# The value of the third argument is assigned to Y

y = int(sys.argv[2])

# The result of multiplication of x and y is assigned to 'result'

result = x * y

#The value of the result is displayed to the user

print("The result of multiplying ", x, "and ", y, "is", result)

Explanation:

First we import sys which allow us to read the argument passed when running the program. The argument is number starting from index 0; the name of the python file been executed is sys.argv[0] which is the first argument. The second argument is sys.argv[1] and the third argument is sys.argv[2].

The attached file is named multplyxy (it wasn't  saved as py file because the platform doesn't recognise py file); we can execute it by running: python3 multiplyxy.py 10 23

where x will be 10 and y will be 23.

To run the attached file; it content must be saved as a py file: multiplyxy.py
