19: Simple Calculator using built-in functions - 1000+ Python Programs

Our calculator will perform the following arithmetic operations using two numbers inputted by the user,

+ (addition)	Add two operands
- (subtraction)	Subtract the second number from the first number
* (multiplication)	Multiplie two numbers
/ (division)	Divide the first number by the second number
% (modulo)	Get the remainder of the division of the first number by the second number
** (exponentiation)	Raise the first number to the power of the second number
