Hey @slate verge!

It looks like you're trying to paste code into this channel.

Discord has support for Markdown, which allows you to post code with full syntax highlighting. Please use these whenever you paste code, as this helps improve the legibility and makes it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

input() always returns a string, you have to convert it to a number before you can perform arithmetic operations on it

use int() or float()

[slate verge]

yes i did that but now i cant use the .isdigit

[dim slate]

you can try except it

[slate verge]

while not ipb.isdigit():
^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'isdigit'

[vague plinth]

if I were you, I'd not check each digit individually. This is what Akex means by "try except it"

def get_int(prompt):
    while True:
        try:
            return int(input(prompt))
        except ValueError as e:
            print(f"{e}; please try again")


ipb = get_int("please enter your inital principal balance : ")

print("ipb stored")

ir = get_int("please enter the inrest rate % : ")

print("ir stored")

time = get_int("please enter time period in years : ")

print("time stored")

final = ipb * pow((1 + ir / 100), time)

print(f" your final output is {final}")

tested, works

yeah the thing is im a beginer i dont know what def and the other things are

thanks for the help tho

[vague plinth]

time to learn, then 🙂

[slate verge]

yea

[vague plinth]

when you find yourself writing the same code over and over -- as you've done -- it's time to write a function instead

then you only have to write that bit of code once.

[slate verge]

got it

appreciate your help thank you
