Basic Mathematical Operations

Your task is to create a function that does four basic mathematical operations.

The function should take three arguments - operation(string/char), value1(number), value2(number). The function should return result of numbers after applying the chosen operation.

Example:

basic_op('+', 4, 7)         # Output: 11
basic_op('-', 15, 18)       # Output: -3
basic_op('*', 5, 5)         # Output: 25
basic_op('/', 49, 7)        # Output: 7

---

Given Code

def basic_op(operator, value1, value2):
    pass

---

Solution

def basic_op(operator, value1, value2):
    return {"+": value1 + value2, "-": value1 - value2, "*": value1 * value2, "/": value1 / value2}[operator]
