Greetings, I ran the code sample you sent and found a couple of errors that wouldn't let the code run.
The first error has to do with variable assignment. When you assign a variable, it is usually on the left and what you want to assign to it is on the right. See Lines 25,29. The second error has to do with the first error in a way. See Line 41. '%d' is a placeholder for an integer. '%2d' ? '%s' is a placeholder for a string. What "type" is the variable 'team'? (Hint: print type(team)) '%.2f' is a placeholder for a float displaying two places to the right of decimal point. Example: testvar = 10.012345 print 'testvar: %.2f' % testvar Output: testvar: 10.01 print 'testvar: %.2f' % testvar Output: testvar: 10.0123 As far as the maths in your program? I can't say. Perhaps if you get the program running, you can figure them out? Debugging tips: A cheap debugger that can be used as you create your program can be as simple as the following: variable = value # assign a variable a value print variable # display the value print type(variable) # display the variable 'type' raw_input() # breakpoint: (Pause.
