Program to find the difference of two numbers in Python

Here we are going to accept two int value from user and then perform subtraction. 

 

Please check our video tutorial on python program to find difference of two numbers:

 

 

Given below is the python program to find difference of two numbers:

# Owner : TutorialsInHand Author : Devjeet Roy

n1 = int(input("Enter first number: "))
n2 = int(input("Enter second number: "))

if n1 > n2:
    diff = n1 - n2
else:
    diff = n2 - n1

print("The difference is:",diff)

The output of the program to find the difference of two numbers in python is as follows:

 

PS C:\Users\DEVJEET\Desktop\tutorialsInHand> python code.py
Enter first number: 34
Enter second number: 20
The difference is: 14

Few important points about this program

1. To find the positive difference between two numbers we have subtracted the smaller number from the larger one. So, we have used an if clause to find which number is bigger.

2. Alternatively, we can use the abs() function to find the mod value of the difference of the two numbers such that, the difference is always positive.

3. Even without using the "diff" variable, we can directly find the difference inside the print function by specifying abs(n1 - n2) in place of "diff".
