''' Purpose: demonstrate the processing numeric input
'''

# get input
reply = input( 'Enter rectangle width and height (integers): ' )  

# split into components
w_string, h_string = reply.split()

# cast them to int - int() function!
w = int( w_string )
h = int( h_string )

w, h = int( w_string ), int( h_string )

# Back to multiple assignment :) Assigning w,h (two variables at once)
# and assigning them their respective values
# So w gets the value of int(w_string) and h gets the value of int(h_string)

# Remember that if you assign a variable a value again, the old value
# just gets replaced by the new assignment value :)
# When choosing variable names, be mindful of what you name them!
# Name them things that just make sense - there's usually no specific
# name unless we TELL you to name them something specific.
# If I give you a problem with height, height is a good variable name
# not like pizza = or like nadia = those are terrible variable names

# compute area
area = w * h                                           

# display result
print( area )
