#Python3 program to get input from user

#accepting integer from the user the return type of
#input() function is string, so we need to convert the input to integer
num1 = int(input("Enter num1: "))
num2 = int(input("Enter num2: "))
  
num3 = num1 * num2
print("Product is: ", num3)
```

Output:

```
Enter num1:
8

Enter num2:

('Product is: ', 48)
```
