Hello
I am trying to create this program for a uni assignment. I cannot get it to
add the expenses to the accumulator I have set. Would you mind having a look
and letting me know if I have something in the wrong place or indented
incorrectly. Perhaps I am missing something.
There could be other things wrong but I need to fix this first and then I
can focus on the next thing. I have difficulty trying to fix lots of things
at once so if you could just comment on the problem and I will ask again if
I can't work out the next problem I have. I like to have a go myself first.
J
My code is:
"""This program is to calculate if the user is over or under budget
for the month"""
def main():
# Create an accumulator
total_expense = 0.0
# Ask user for the monthly budget
budget = float(raw_input('Enter the amount of your budget for the month:
$'))
# Calculate a series of expenses
expense = float(raw_input('Enter your first expense $'))
# Accumlate expense
total_expense = total_expense + expense
# Continue processing as long as the user
# does not enter 0
while expense != 0:
#Get another expense
expense = float(raw_input('Enter the next expense or 0 to finish
$'))
#Calculate surplus
surplus = budget - total_expense
#Display results
print 'Your total expenses for the month $', total_expense
print 'Your surplus amount after expenses $', surplus
# Call the main function.
main()
Thank you.
