Tip Program - PatrickFCrowley - Aug-07-2017
Hello! This is actually my first time posting on a forum, ever haha. Well I'm going through a book on python, thought I understood naming variables, but found that I don't know how to fix NameError: name 'tip_15' is not defined
# Tip Buddy
# Have User enter bill amount
# output tip amount and
# bill total
# Patrick Crowley
# 8/7/2017
# gather information from user
bill = float (input ("Please enter amount shown on bill."))
# output tip amount by 15% and 20%
tip20 = bill * 0.2
tip15 = bill * 0.15
# 15%
print ("\n\nIf your service was satisfactory today,", \
tip_15 , "is a resonable tip Based on 15%")
print ("Your total would be:", bill + tip_15)
#20

tip15 on line#14 vs tip_15 on line#18do you see the difference?

If you look at the name you gave to bill * 0.15 is 'tip15'. When you use it again you use 'tip_15'. If you get rid of the underscore on the last line then it should work.

Ohh yes i do see it now... thank you. i actually went through and changed the variable names completely and it worked, but i will triple check next time so i dont sound like a dope.
