Homework help - abdullahali - Sep-17-2018
How can I add a $ sign to this
total_value = int ( Input (“total value of booty in dollars: ”))
RE: Homework help - Larz60+ - Sep-17-2018
yes and no
total_value = int ( Input (“total value of booty in dollars: ”))it would have to be a string:
ptotal_value = '${}'.format(total_value)

There is no builtin function 'Input'. It is lower case.

At least, that's the case if you want to user standard integers or floats. (You could create your own class that supports currency numerics including currency symbols.)
total_value = int ( Input (“total value of booty in dollars: ”))
Standard approach:
total_value = int(input("total value of booty in dollars: ")) # expect only a number to be entered
print(f'Total value: ${total_value}') # this is using f-strings

Look at locale module.
