Hi
What's wrong with the following code?
def main()
lunch = int(input('How many hours did you eat?'))
cost = float(input('Enter the hourly cost: '))
gross_cost = lunch * cost
print('cost:$', format(cost, '.2f'), sep='')
main()
I get the error File "<Stdin>", line 6
Thanks, Sarah
You forgot the : after def main(...):
Also your print line is, I suspect, wrong.
I assume you want to print gross_cost not cost?
You could also use the format method of the string which
tends to be more flexible:
print('cost: ${:.2f}'.format(gross_cost))
