Hello,
I am wanting to do some calculations using interest, total amount, and years to pay of an item, but I am having trouble getting and using the user input from a tkinter entry. Can someone help guide me through this process? My code so far is below:
Ignore the StringVar "a" on line 21, that was something else I was trying that I forgot to remove from the code before posting
Okay, adjusted again. Now I am just having trouble calling my function, I think. Here is my error message when trying to run code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Julia\Desktop\Python\Assignment16\Assignment16\Assignment16.py", line 39, in <module>
monthpayment = calculatePayment()
File "C:\Users\Julia\Desktop\Python\Assignment16\Assignment16\Assignment16.py", line 11, in calculatePayment
amt = float(amount.get())
ValueError: could not convert string to float:
Press any key to continue . . .
Here is my adjusted code:
Okay, I figured it out! For anyone who may want to see, here is my final code:
