I'd like to augment Peter's request: Please use a more informative
subject line than "Help". I notice you have posted two "Help" emails
recently on two substantially different topics.
As to the most current topic, your code is garbled to me as well, but
it looks like you realize that input() returns a string, not a float,
and that you are trying to use string methods to get what you want.
Another approach you might want to look into is using float(input())
to convert the string resembling a float into a floating point number
and then use the operator "//" (to perform integer division) and then
use that result to extract the decimal portion. You will still have
to work on dealing with the decimal point removal and just getting the
decimal fraction as just integer-like numbers, but that is not too
hard ...
