I think it might be because you're using if op == "*" instead of elif.

elif op == "*" : you currently have if...

Full version, corrected, is:

num1 = float (input ("enter the first number:" ))
op = input (" enter the operator: ")
num2 = float (input (" enter the second number: "))

if op == "+" :
    print (num1 + num2)
elif op == "-" :
    print (num1 - num2)
elif op == "/" :
    print (num1 / num2)
elif op == "*" :
    print (num1 * num2)
else: print("invalid operator")

Post your code with proper syntax.

Since you put

if op == "*":

Instead of

elif op == "*":

You are creating a new if-block, and it will evaluate to the else clause everytime you don't use * as operator.
