#Display the result
#Sets the sales_tax variable

#sets pound_price variable

if pounds > 150:
shipping_price = 0

print(f'Cost of coffee ${pound_price:.2f}')
print(f'7% sales tax ${sales_tax:.2f}')
print(f'Shipping fee ${shipping_price:.2f}')
print(f'Toal cost ${total_cost:.2f}')

maybe pounds = round(float(input("How many pounds are you ordering?"))) ?

Where in the code would that go?

I do not know how to make the code to where it does not allow partial pounds

pretty sure I've already told you
leaden imp
op if by partial pounds if u mean, u dont want the user to enter float numbers then just take integers from them
pounds = int(input("How many pounds are you ordering?"))
sales_tax = 0.07
pounds = round(float(input("How many pounds are you ordering?")))
shipping_price = pounds
pound_price = ""
if pounds > 150:
shipping_price = 0
if pounds >= 1 and pounds <= 9:
pound_price = 12.00 * pounds
if pounds >= 10 and pounds < 20:
pound_price = 10.00 * pounds
if pounds >= 20 and pounds < 40:
pound_price = 8.75 * pounds
if pounds >= 40:
pound_price = 7.50 * pounds
sales_tax = pound_price * sales_tax
total_cost = pound_price + sales_tax + shipping_price
print(f"Cost of coffee ${pound_price:.2f}")
print(f"7% sales tax ${sales_tax:.2f}")
print(f"Shipping fee ${shipping_price:.2f}")
print(f"Toal cost ${total_cost:.2f}")
# echo 12.2 | python3 shiesty.py
# How many pounds are you ordering?Cost of coffee $120.00
# 7% sales tax $8.40
# Shipping fee $12.00
# Toal cost $140.40
Int(input(ur input))
Like that
Or checking by if and else
Which is stupid to do ngl
If You want the user to try again in the input without shutting the code
You can use try:
Example:
While true:
try:
Pounds = input(“ur input”)
If pounds == int
Return pounds
Except:
Input(“please try again”)
true island
To add on to what georgino said:
# while loop if you want to have the user retry, if not you can omit this
while True:
pounds = float(input("How many pounds are you ordering? "))
if not int(pounds) == pounds:
pounds = float(input("Sorry, partial pounds are not allowed, please enter a whole number:"))
else:
break
# option 2: raise an exception
pounds = float(input("How many pounds are you ordering? "))
if not int(pounds) == pounds:
raise ValueError("Sorry, partial pounds are not allowed.")
# this will exit your script forcefully if the exception is not caught, probably not what you would want here...```There is an error in option 2
You should have said input not float input
Cause a float input would force them to make a float
Which is partial
true island
No, that is intentional. Input always returns a string and if you dont convert it to a numerical value first we cant check if it's a whole number. (well you could do "." in str, but that seems a little bit convoluted to me when you can just use numerical values)

Both of them work
Even of the input is a string
If*
You can check by try and except value error
Am i right?
true island
If input is a string this line if not int(pounds) == pounds: will throw an exception for non int values, so it wouldn't throw your own exception. That is why I converted it to a float first.
Yes you could just as well use a try/except block for this. 🙂
