Multi tool use

I've decided to make a simple calculator. It asks the user for two numbers, what does he want to do with them, and then asks how many numbers there actually is.

I've come up with nothing better than do one if-statement when there are 2 numbers, one elif when there are 3 of them, and one else part, when it just asks you for more numbers until you type "end" and then calculates.

if

elif

else

The thing is, it seems to completely ignore elif part, it doesn't even asks the question there. Everything else works just fine. And i just can't see what's wrong there.

elif

Here's a part of my code, please, suggest, what is wrong here.

while True:
try:
x = float(input("Enter your numbern"))
y = float(input("Enter another numbern"))
operator = input("Enter the operationn")
check = float(input("How many numbers are there?n"))
if check == 2:
if operator == "+" :
print("Result = " + str(x + y))
elif operator == "-" :
print("Result = " + str(x - y))
elif operator == "*" :
print("Result = " + str(x * y))
elif operator == "/" :
print("Result = " + str(x / y))
elif check == 3:
z = float(input("Enter the third numbern"))
if operator == "+" :
print("Result = " + str(x + y + z))
elif operator == "-" :
print("Result = " + str(x- y - z))
elif operator == "*" :
print("Result = " + str(x * y * z))
elif operator == "/" :
print("Result = " + str(x / y / z))
else:
num = float(input("Enter a numbern"))


And the code goes on. I just can't get why if works and elif doesn't, it just continues to else. Thank you for any help you can provide an and sorry for my bad English.
("Except" is there, but later in the code)

if

elif

else

==

check

Seems to work when I ran it in idle. I'm not sure if the input was working on your side but when I tried it I couldn't add any input because you need to leave a space after the newline character. I removed the try because it was probably silently catching your errors, causing it to skip the rest of the try block.

Sorry to bother you all. It works perfectly fine on idle, though when i run it on Visual Studio "elif" part is ignored. I'm not really sure why. Probably a lesson for me to run things on ilde when i face problems like that. Still can't get why Visual Studio does that...
