            choice = float(input("Cost of item: "))
            if choice != 0:
                totalSum += choice
                print(totalSum)
                continue
            elif choice == 0:
                done = True
        except ValueError:
            print("please enter a number")
    print(f"\tTotal: {totalSum}")
    print(f"\tSales tax: {taxAmount}")
    print(f"\tTotal after tax: {afterTax}")
    choice = input("Again? (y/n):)")
    while True:
        try:
            if choice == ("y"):
                menu()
            elif choice == ("n"):
                print("Thanks, bye!")
                exit()
        except ValueError:
            print("Please enter (y/n)")
            continue

main()```

this is the module
```py
def tax():
    6

def taxAmount():
    return totalSum * tax / 100

def afterTax():
    return taxamount+totalSum

When you see <function it means you didn't call the function

[glacial thorn]

You need to call the function

and pass the parameters to it

[sage hedge]

huh i thought I was calling it when i tried printing it

[rigid heron]

You need () after the function name in order to call it

[sage hedge]

[sage hedge]

now its saying float object is not callable?

is it the paremeters?

[rigid heron]

Can you show the full error message

[sage hedge]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Erico/OneDrive/Desktop/new homework/SalesTaxCalculator.py", line 40, in <module>
main()
File "C:/Users/Erico/OneDrive/Desktop/new homework/SalesTaxCalculator.py", line 25, in main
print(f"\tTotal: {totalSum()}")
TypeError: 'float' object is not callable

[glacial thorn]

You are calling a variable now

not a function

[sage hedge]

wait but i dont have a variable with that name

[glacial thorn]

totalSum = 0

[sage hedge]

sry im slightly dyslexic i read something different lmao

You didn't call your function

[sage hedge]
