np = int(input("How many persons are in the room? "))By default, an answer such as 4.5 raises an exception and it seems to me the most consistent thing to do in the general case. It means that if you want your program to be tolerant to inaccuracies in numerical values, you need to implement it explicitly.
It makes sense.
All the best,
