@open fern hi, i just worked on the assignment and i got to a confirmation to writing the details to an order file, and it works

i have a problem where it asks for the confirmation after only 1 patio instead looping it in the for loop

nvm, just fixed it

my writing function was inside of the for loop instead of out

i just have a problem where it needs to confirm without any actions after every patio

just fixed it lol

ummm

somethings weird, when i try to input a customer code of 1 and take 2 orders for it this happens

this is my input

Customer code = 2
Type of slab = York
TotalArea = 12
Totalcost = 753.0
Customer code = 1
Type of slab = Dover
TotalArea = 12
Totalcost = 360.0

this is what it saves to the file

it put the first one as customer code 2 for some reason and as york

[open fern]

yup

so, first of all, I would rather you make "saving data to a file" in a separate function

So it doesn't look too... messy or complex

[flat widget]

alright

[open fern]

secondly, you need to find a way to hold all of the input and calculated data in your orderinfo of a customer before writing it to a file

this can be in a dict or list or class or something

[flat widget]

so i make a dict and just append it to it?

[open fern]

you can't append a dict. You can append a list.

You can make key values in dict

[flat widget]

oh okay

[open fern]

so which one you doin?

list or dict?

[flat widget]

i think classes since

its in the mark scheme

i would need to check it off

[open fern]

ok

IIRC, you said you don't know much about classes

And I wish I have time but atm I'm leaving it to youtube to explain it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XR_91AfgZI

So what you can do is make a class called Customer and have it hold the orders attribute. And the orders attribute would be a list of the type of slab, the calculated patio area, the total cost.

That would be neat.

I'll check back in a while

[flat widget]

i need to go out right now so ill work on it when im back, thanks

so just to make sure i need to make a function of writing to a file, then make a class holding the customer details?

[open fern]

yes

[flat widget]

okay thanks
