The Calculator

[INCOMING — Mission Control, Earth]

Cadet, capstone. Combine everything you've learned in this module into one program.

Implement calculate(a, b) that returns a dictionary with all four basic operations:

{
    "sum":        a + b,
    "difference": a - b,
    "product":    a * b,
    "quotient":   a / b,
}

Convert both inputs with float() so results are consistent — and so string inputs work too.

Your Task

In starter/starter.py, convert both inputs to float, then return the dictionary with the four keys above.

Objectives

• calculate(10, 5) returns the four operations as a dict
• Works with int, float, and string inputs
• All values are floats
