[FIXED] Why do the math problems in my program repeat the same equation?

Issue

So, I'm trying to make a math problem in Python, since I'm a beginner learning how to code. Basically, it asks you how many questions you want to answer, and to answer questions of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division correctly. But whenever I try to answer the questions correctly, they always say that I'm incorrect. Let me show you the code I have, so far.

import random

num_question = (int)(input("Enter how many questions would you like to solve: "))
num1 = random.randint (0,20)
num2 = random.randint (0,20)
oper = ["+","-","*","/"]
operator = random.choice(oper) #chooses a variable in the "oper" list at random. Then it is used in the question

for count in range (0, num_question):
    question = ("What is " + str(num1) + " " + operator + " " + str(num2) + "?") #e.g. What is 6 - 2
    print (question)
    answer = (int)(input("Enter here: "))
    if operator == "+": #if the operator chooses addition, the answer will equal the sum of both numbers. The same goes for the other if statements.
        answer == (num1 + num2)
    elif operator == "-":
        answer == (num1 - num2)
    elif operator == "*":
        answer == (num1 * num2)
    elif operator == "/":
        answer == (num1 / num2)
    
    if question == answer: #if the answer is equal to the question, then it's correct and proceeds. Otherwise, it doesn't.
        print ("Correct!")
        break
    else:
        print ("Incorrect. Please try again.")

If you could please help me, that would be wonderful. Thank you in advance.

Edit: I have done what you have advised me, and it has worked!

import random

num_question = (int)(input("Enter how many questions would you like to solve: "))
num1 = random.randint (0,20)
num2 = random.randint (0,20)
oper = ["+","-","*","/"]
operator = random.choice(oper) #chooses a variable in the "oper" list at random. Then it is used in the question

for count in range (0, num_question):
    question = (num1, operator, num2) #e.g. What is 6 - 2
    print (question)
    guess = (int)(input("Enter here: "))
    answer = 0
    if operator == "+": #if the operator chooses addition, the answer will equal the sum of both numbers. The same goes for the other if statements.
        answer = (num1 + num2)
    elif operator == "-":
        answer = (num1 - num2)
    elif operator == "*":
        answer = (num1 * num2)
    elif operator == "/":
        answer = (num1 / num2)
    
    if guess == answer: #if the answer is equal to the question, then it's correct and proceeds. Otherwise, it doesn't.
        print ("Correct!")
        continue
    else:
        print ("Incorrect. Please try again.")

It worked! It now says the answer correctly! However, the drawback is that the same question rebeats everytime (I am using my old labtob, so the p button and the quotation button is broken). Now my question is how to make the questions not repeat themselves. If you have any suggestions, I will follow them to the best I can. Again, thank you in advance.

Solution

There are a couple problems.

1. You are testing for equality with "==" inside the "if" statements, when you probably would like to assign the true answer to a variable to compare to the user's guess
2. You are comparing the answer to the question, which is a string, which will never be equal

Fix the first one by creating a new variable for the true answer to keep it separate from the guess. Fix the second by comparing the guess to the real answer.

    guess = (int)(input("Enter here: "))
    answer = 0
    if operator == "+": #if the operator chooses addition, the answer will equal the sum of both numbers. The same goes for the other if statements.
        answer = (num1 + num2)
    elif operator == "-":
        answer = (num1 - num2)
    elif operator == "*":
        answer = (num1 * num2)
    elif operator == "/":
        answer = (num1 / num2)
    
    if answer == guess : #if the answer is equal to the question, then it's correct and proceeds. Otherwise, it doesn't.
        print ("Correct!")
        break
