Two Decimal Places - Fumi - Jan-09-2018

Hi there,

I'm just learning python myself.

This is probably going to take someone all of two seconds to answer but I cannot find an easy answer to this anywhere.

In the following code, how do I print results to display two decimal places? - as in 123.45

#define variables with values
fastmail_payment = 2.25
agile_bits = 3.67
text_expander = 3.84
amazon_aws = 16.59
dropbox = 10.46
adobe_creative_cloud = 8.57
icloud_storage = 2.49
feedly = 3.75
google_drive = 15.99
uneasy_nostalgia = 14.40
personal_blog = 8.98




monthly_payments = fastmail_payment + agile_bits + text_expander + amazon_aws + dropbox + adobe_creative_cloud + icloud_storage + feedly + google_drive

yearly_payments = monthly_payments * 12

weekly_payments = monthly_payments / 4

daily_payments = monthly_payments / 30

hourly_payments = daily_payments / 24

squarespace_total = uneasy_nostalgia + personal_blog

squarespace_total_year = squarespace_total * 12


print "Total for Year is: " , yearly_payments

print "Total for Month is: ", monthly_payments

print "Total for Week is: ", weekly_payments

print "Total for Day is: ", daily_payments

print "Total for Hour is: ", hourly_payments

print "My Squarespace yearly total payments were: ", squarespace_total_year

a = 123.456789
print "{0:.2f}".format(a)

old way

print "%.2f" % a

Quote:daily_payments = monthly_payments / 30

what about months with 31 days?

I'm only just beginning Python. I've no idea how to deal with that.
