Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

What have you written so far?

weary drift <@836083721794748437>

welp this is hard

#

I've written nothing so far

#

oh wait

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:35 AM

#

You've asked a lot of similar questions to this before. There will be a lot of the same code as the others

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:35 AM

#

So i should open a variable first?

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:36 AM

#

What do you think the order should be?

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:36 AM

#

gilded heart So i should open a variable first?

and I'm not really sure what you mean by this

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:38 AM

#

a_member = ("yes or no")

#

like this

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:39 AM

#

Look at your previous code examples. How did you get the user to type something in?

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:39 AM

#

input

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:39 AM

#

Yes exactly

#

So make sure you use that here as well

#

Use input to ask the user if they are a member
Use input to ask the user to input the product price.
Calculate the total based on whether or not they are a member
Display the price

#

These are your steps

#

Start by trying to write the code for each of those steps

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:41 AM

#

I completed the first

#

two

#

steps

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:41 AM

#

show your code

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:41 AM

#

moving on what do I do?

#

a_member = input("Are you a member: ")
product_price = int(input("what is your product price? "))

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:42 AM

#

Are you sure you should be using int here?

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:42 AM

#

Nah

#

I think it's float

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:42 AM

#

Yes exactly 🙂

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:42 AM

#

So mobing on

#

moving

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:43 AM

#

Do you know how you calculate a percentage of another number?

#

Not necessarily in python

#

but if you had a calculator?

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:43 AM

#

I do

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:43 AM

#

Ok, so what are you unsure of?

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:43 AM

#

divide by 10 if I am not mistaken

#

lets say my product is 65 dollars

#

then we divide it by 10%

#

65 divide by 10%

cyan mason Apr 9, 2025, 9:44 AM

#

And then pithink

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:44 AM

#

Not quite. What if it was 20% off?

#

65 / 20 actually gives you 5% off

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:45 AM

#

So what do you mean here

#

I don't understand discounts

cyan mason Apr 9, 2025, 9:45 AM

#

weary drift Not quite. What if it was 20% off?

||He could subtract by the 65/10, it's static||

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:45 AM

#

You should use multiplication here

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:45 AM

#

cyan mason ||He could subtract by the 65/10, it's static||

It just so happens to work with this, but it's not really best practice

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:45 AM

#

gilded heart I don't understand discounts

There's two ways to think of this

cyan mason Apr 9, 2025, 9:46 AM

#

weary drift It just so happens to work with this, but it's not really best practice

Yes, well

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:46 AM

#

if the cost is 65

#

we could multiply it by 0.9

#

that's 90% of the original value

#

which is the same as 10% off

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:46 AM

#

okay

cyan mason Apr 9, 2025, 9:46 AM

#

weary drift we could multiply it by 0.9

(1-0.1)

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:46 AM

#

or, we can multiply by 0.1, and then subtract that from the original value

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:46 AM

#

weary drift we could multiply it by 0.9

I'll take this

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:46 AM

#

product_price - (product_price * 0.1)

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:49 AM

#

Can I do this?

#

This is similar

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:50 AM

#

your condition isn't related to the price. It's related to whether or not they're a member

#

If they're a member, give them a discount. Otherwise, they pay full price

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:51 AM

#

weary drift *If they're a member, give them a discount. Otherwise, they pay full price*

can you type it in code?

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:51 AM

#

What do you think you need to be checking for?

#

#

This is the important part

#

If they say yes, give discount

#

There seems to be a problem

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:54 AM

#

I've given you the idea, not the literal code

#

How do you compare if two things are equal in python?

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 9:56 AM

#

weary drift How do you compare if two things are equal in python?

We haven't learned that yet

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 9:56 AM

#

#1357718908047462470 message

#

Haven't you?

#

Make a habit of looking at old code to remember things

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

no haven't

#

WAIT

#

SO YOU ARE TELLING ME

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

Yes you have. I linked a thread with your own code where you use a comparison

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 10:03 AM

#

HALLELUJAH

#

Thank you

#

Now the next part

#

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_1ce2e14e-57be-4966-9556-b85f8885d2af.jpg

#

Like this?

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

The if after the else is not necessary

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

I can use elif?

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

We can just assume if they don't say "yes", then they aren't a member

#

We don't need to check specifically for "no"

gilded heart Apr 9, 2025, 10:06 AM

#

Oh okay

weary drift Apr 9, 2025, 10:06 AM

#

Otherwise you end up with 3 situations

#

"yes"
"no"
other

#

there's really no difference between "no" and other so we can just lump them together
