a = input("Pls enter the value of a") b = input("Pls enter the value of b") area = 0.5 * a * b print(f"The area is,{area}")

and the result was

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[8], line 6
4 a = input("Pls enter the value of a") 5 b = input("Pls enter the value of b") ----> 6 area = 0.5 * a * b 7 print(f"The area is,{area}")
