Hi all! First I want to thank everyone for the help in regards to learning python book and gui's!! Happy New year!!
I am just learning Python, and I do have a project in mind but I am not sure where to start on it. I am in the Insurance business so the project is a rate calculator. I have a ton of questions. So bear with me please. The picture I have in my mind and what I have written down too. (Input Clients name) input text box age= spinner Male or Female= radio buttons Tobacco User yes or no Health Here I was thinking about 4-5 options Diabetic yes or no? Amount of Coverage input text box So those would be the input parameters, Here is how it would work (at least in my limited knowledge) The program is going to look at age first then Male or female then, Tobacco, and health after it accumulates all the information then it will have 5- 6 companies to find the rates from.( This will be based on the health too, because as an example if health= poor then there is only one company to look at. This is true if the person is diabetic, only one company. I can use a prefered rate too but then I would have to put in a weight chart. (sigh) So when the program looks at these companies. Let me back up a minute here. To calculate rates is as follows Rate= (Unit cost X amount) + policy fee X modal factor (modal factor is different for monthly,quarterly and semi annual. So then program looks to find the best rate and return the value into 3 box.......Monthly Quarterly and Semi Also now I bet your saying this guy is getting picky, I want to be able to write the quote to a file for future use. So I have allot of the rates in excel now, do I need to build tables with each company? I know this is a big project so I was told by someone. But I am just look for a starting point and then I will go from there. Thanks In Advance for all of your help.
