-thanks
So what happens when you try? "Doesn't run" covers a multitude of
possibilities.
First one:
python Car Salesperson.py
python: can't open file 'Car': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
davea@think:~/temppython$
The fix for this one is to put quotes around the script name. Or to
escape the blanks. Or even better to rename the file so it doesn't have
spaces in it.
Please be specific. You're running some OS, you launch some particular
version of Python, you give it some commandline, and you get some
unexpected result. Use a lot of copy/paste and it's not too painful.
I have version 3 of python.
it will let me type in the type of car and then enter
then i type in the base price and when i hit enter, it says error
The problem is in your input statement: base_price = input("What is the
base price?")
input (on Python version 3.x) always returns a string. Sometimes that's
what you want, sometimes it's not. In this case, just change to:
base_price = int(input("What is the base price?"))
This is the error message:
tax = base_price / 25
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'int'
I tried adding int() in front of base_price but it still didn't work
Again, please be specific. If you really tried this:
tax = int() base_price /25
then it naturally won't work. But if you tried
tax = int(base_price) / 25
it should have worked. What error did you get? Did it give the wrong
answer, or another exception traceback?
Anyway, I showed you my preference. Convert data to their final type as
soon as possible after getting it from the user. Not later when you're
trying to use it.
