How can I add 4 to an integer in Python?

Adding 4 to an integer in Python is a straightforward arithmetic operation. You can accomplish this using the addition operator (+).

Here's how you can do it:

1. Define an Integer Variable:

First, you need to have an integer variable to which you want to add 4. Let's say you have a variable named 'my_integer' with a certain integer value.

2. Use the Addition Operator:

You can then add 4 to this integer by using the '+' operator and assigning it to a new variable or reassigning the result back to the original variable.

3. Example Code:

# Define an integer
my_integer = 10

# Add 4 to the integer and store the result in a new variable
result = my_integer + 4
print(result) # Output: 14

# Add 4 to the integer and update its value
my_integer = my_integer + 4
print(my_integer) # Output: 14

# Alternatively, you can use the augmented assignment operator +=
my_integer += 4
print(my_integer) # Output: 18

In the example above:

- We start by defining an integer, which we assign a value of 10.

- We then add 4 to it using the '+' operator, and store the result in a new variable 'result'.

- We update the value of the original integer variable using the '+' operator and then we also demonstrate how to achieve the same using the += augmented operator.

Both methods will correctly add 4 to your integer. The choice between them usually depends on whether you need to preserve the original value of the integer or not.

Note: You can use the same approach to add other numbers as well. Just replace the '4' with the integer that you would like to add.
