Python Basic Calculator

Hello I made this calculator in Python, I know it's pretty basic but I want your opinions if I made it well or not, and if you find any mistakes or not.
P.S ( I know I could do another better than this one if I looked in internet but I want to evolve that's why I'm here )

#Commands
print("Operations that you can use:")
print("Subtraction: -")
print("Multiplication: *")
print("Division: /")
print("Exponentiation: **")
print("\n")

#Variables
x = None
y = None
z = None
ce = 0

while ce < 1:

# Inputs
x = float(input("First Value: "))
y = input("Operation: ")
z = float(input("Second Value: "))

# If
if '+' == y:
elif '-' == y:
sub = float(x) - float(z)
print(sub)
elif '/' == y:
div = float(x) / float(z)
print(div)
elif "**(1/" == y:
elif "**" == y:
exp = float(x) ** float(z)
print(exp)
elif '*' == y:
mul = float(x) * float(z)
print(mul)
print("Continue or Exit?")
ce = int(input("    0    or   1  : "))


Let me offer the following rewrite of your program and then let's walk through it:

names = {'Addition' : '+',
'Subtraction' : '-',
'Division' : '/',
'Exponentation': '**',
}

print("Operations that you can use:")
for op in names:
print(op, names[op])

ops = {
'+' : (lambda x, y: x + y),
'-' : (lambda x, y: x - y),
'*' : (lambda x, y: x * y),
'/' : (lambda x, y: x / y),
'**' : (lambda x, y: x ** y),
'**(1/' : (lambda x, y: x ** 1.0 / y),
'na' : (lambda x, y: 'Unknown binary operator')
}

ce = 0
while ce != 1:
x = float(input("First Value: "))
y = input("Operation: ")
z = float(input("Second Value: "))

op = ops.get(y, 'na')
print(ops[op](x, z))

print("Continue or Exit?")
ce = int(input("    0    or   1  : "))

• It seems unnecessary to define x, y and z to be None so we just define them inside the main loop.

• The ops dictionary stores a symbol of the operator and the actual implementation in a lambda function. It also stores a special 'na' value to represent any unknown operator; this is useful in the main loop where we return that key if we don't find what the user gave us as input.

• The key difference and main idea here is a data-driven solution. That is, notice how we've put the supported operators into data structures. This way it's easier to make changes and to maintain the program, e.g., when you add a new binary operator, you don't have to touch the logic of your calculator, just add a new element into your data structure.

• There's no explicit if-elif chain anymore, yay! Such chains are often annoying to write and it's always a potential code smell. No matter how experienced you are, it's one of those things where it's easy to make a human error and write something you didn't mean to, but it can be tough to discover the bug.
