I am doing a program where you input the amount of people in your family and the ages and Gender and then it asks what do you want to spend on grocery for a certain time span. I need help figuring out how to make a algorithm to calculate the grocery list and then print it out to the user.

The algorithm is independent of the code. In other words, you should be able to describe your algorithm in words and then think about implementation.

So you might say, "25% of the food budget will be spent on breakfast and lunch, and the remaining 50% will be spent on dinner foods. For each meal, we will maximize the budget while trying to buy as many different things as possible."

But let's talk about the code you have because I think that the code you've written is going to make things more difficult for you.

The biggest problem with your code right now is that depending on the number of people specified, you create different variables:

if peopleInFamly == 1:
    (Calculator())
    agesOfPeopleInFamly11 = int(input("How Old Are You "))
    genderOfPeople = input("What Gender Are You ") 
#If There Is 2 People In your famly
elif peopleInFamly == 2:
    agesOfPeopleInFamly12 = int(input("How Old Is the first person in your famly "))
    genderOfPeople12 = input("What Gender is the first person in your famly ")
    agesOfPeopleInFamly22 = int(input("How Old Is the Second person in your famly "))
    genderOfPeople = input("What Gender is the Second person in your famly ")
#If There Is 3 People In your famly
elif peopleInFamly == 3:
    agesOfPeopleInFamly13 = int(input("How Old Is the first person in your famly "))
    genderOfPeople = input("What Gender is the first person in your famly ")
    agesOfPeopleInFamly23 = int(input("How Old Is the Second person in your famly "))
    genderOfPeople = input("What Gender is the Second person in your famly ")
    agesOfPeopleInFamly33 = int(input("How Old Is the Third person in your famly "))
    genderOfPeople = input ("What Gender is the Thrid person in your famly ")
You're going to get a headache doing something like this. Instead, you could use parallel lists for each thing:
ages = []
genders = []
peopleInFamly = int(input("How Many People Are In Your Famly "))
for x in range(peopleInFamily):
   age = int(input("How old..."))
   ages.append(age)
   gender = input("What gender...")
   genders.append(genders)
That whole big if/elif block asking for ages and genders goes down to about 10 lines.

also, instead of asking how many weeks then prompting for the dollar amount, how about just ask "how much money do you have?" then ask "How many weeks should that last?" Then do the dollar per week calculation?

You could also simplify things by using dict's instead of lists for defining food items but this is a start.

Ok thanks for all the help but my biggest problem is I do not know how to make the algorithm do you know how that can be done @mpd

That's not an easy algorithm to design because there are a lot of factors to consider. To get started, make simplifying assumptions. For example ignore gender and age and just assume that a person needs X calories of food a day. Write a function that ignores cost and selects foods that provide that many calories. When that works add in some logic to break up those foods over breakfast, lunch, dinner. When that works, consider cost. When that works... etc.

Alternately, start with cost (which really isn't much different than the calories consideration.) Then try writing a function that takes a dollar amount and selects the most food for the given dollar amount.

You can then take these "simple" functions and continue to refine them, add logic for age, gender, etc.

Ok thank you for all the help. I just have one more thing to ask you. I am pretty new to python so this is a ambitious project for me. How would i go about the selection of the cost from the Dictionary. @mpd

You can reference items in a dictionary with it's "key" name. In other words, dictionaries map keys to values. So if you wanted to look up people by their age you might have a dictionary such as this:

ages = { "Joe": 32, "Sandy": 16, "Bob": 23, "Janice": 35 }

# you can then get each person's age with their name:
ages["Joe"]
One way to do this with foods, is making a dictionary that maps the names of foods to a dictionary of their details:
# foods is a dict of dict's.  Each food is referenced by it's name...
foods = { "Wheat Bread": { "cost": 2.50, "calories": 300, "servings": 18 },
          "Pepsi": { "cost": 1.00, "calories": 1000, "servings": 1} }

bread = foods["Wheat Bread"]
print("Bread costs {0} per loaf".format(bread["cost"]))

# to run through all foods you can use a for-loop
for name, info in foods.items():
    print("{0} costs {1} dollars".format(name, info["cost"]))
Output:
> python.exe food.py
Bread costs 2.5 per loaf
Wheat Bread costs 2.5 dollars
Pepsi costs 1.0 dollars
