Expressions & Interactive Input
Eight beginner coding challenges: arithmetic, operator precedence, floor division, conversion and real Python input() responses.
How it works: Read the requirement, predict the result, and write real Python. When a task uses input(), provide one response per line in the Program Input panel. Run tries your chosen values; Check uses the task's stated sample and additional scenario checks when included. No account or installation is required.

Calculate connected ports
Northstar has three switches with eight connected ports each and two spare ports. Calculate total_ports using multiplication and addition, then print exactly '26 ports total'. Use the given values rather than writing the answer directly.
