Unit 18: Procedural Programming Assignment (Shop Simulation)

[Terafy]

I mean the that part of the code dose nothing unless it been called to run.

[shaheduk323]

so how do i call it

[Terafy]

This is your function

def newbalances(initialbalance, productname, advertisingcost):
    newbalance = initialbalance - advertisingcost - ptoductname * wholesaleprice
    return newbalance

Now to call it you need to assign it a variable (let call it todayBalance) and give it 3 arguments.

todayBalance=newbalances(0, 'Nick', 100)

I think wholesaleprice is a global variable...

[shaheduk323]

yes wholesale price is global

[Terafy]

I dont get why productname is part of the equation. Anyway change 'Nick' to a number. Doing this on a phone is hard.

And you variable ptoductname need changing

[shaheduk323]

This is your function

def newbalances(initialbalance, productname, advertisingcost):
    newbalance = initialbalance - advertisingcost - ptoductname * wholesaleprice
    return newbalance

Now to call it you need to assign it a variable (let call it todayBalance) and give it 3 arguments.

todayBalance=newbalances(0, 'Nick', 100)

where should i put this part of the code

[Terafy]

Anywhere below the functions you defined

[shaheduk323]

I give up. i had enough of the coding and whatever i define its the same error. my deadline is 11:55pm tonight and so i am too late just thought to tell you. the error kept on coming up even if i tried to define it.

[Terafy]

no dont give up! it was 1 am since my last post!

In a new script paste this code.

def newbalances(initialbalance, productname, advertisingcost):
    wholesaleprice = 9
    newbalance = initialbalance - advertisingcost - productname * wholesaleprice
    return newbalance

#calling the function newbalances
#need input arguments (initialbalance, productname, advertisingcost)
#and a variable to store it
todayBalance=newbalances(1000, 10, 100)

print(todayBalance)

If you ran that code you would get:

Output:
