Why is there no output?

Question

I am supposed to create a program in which I am supposed to add numbers if they are string and concatenate numbers if they are integer. This is my code:

num1 = input("Enter an integer or string: ")
num2 = input("Enter an integer or string: ")
  def stupid_addition(num1, num2):
    if (num1, num2) == str:
      result = int(num1 + num2)
    else:
      result = str(num1 + num2) 
    return result
stupid_addition(num1, num2)

You may print the result returnedn by the function `print(stupid_addition(num1, num2))` — azro, Jun 05 '20 at 08:35
@azro it could be the indentation (along with the missing print) that caused his/her problem. I have reverted the edit for now. — AndrewL64, Jun 05 '20 at 08:37
@ailiya Did you properly indented your code or did you write it as above? — AndrewL64, Jun 05 '20 at 08:37
@AndrewL64 I indented it. But just for confirmation could you type the correct way. — ailiya, Jun 05 '20 at 09:14

You need to print the result, using the print function.

num1 = input("Enter an integer or string: ")
num2 = input("Enter an integer or string: ")
def stupid_addition(num1, num2):
  if (num1, num2) == str:
    result = int(num1 + num2)
  else:
    result = str(num1 + num2) 
  return result

print(stupid_addition(num1, num2))
