When you divide you get a decimal result which you then convert
to an integer - a whole number - so you lose the fractional part.
When you multiply by 12 you get 12 times the integer not the
original number.
And for total_income shouldn't the subraction be the other way around?
Python is so tempormential what is wrong with my code?
Python is not temperamental, it is just doing exactly what you ask it
to do.
It makes no judgement about whether what you are asking is sensible or
not.
One of the more humbling things about programming is that you become
accutely aware of your own ability to screw things up! ;-)
