I am learning Python and I have problems with data types convertions. When I run the program it says: "Can't convert 'float' object to str implicitly". I'm using the latest version of Python by the way.
I am just trying to make basic math operations.
Here's my code:
Quantity=input("PLEASE INSERT NUMBERS OF SHIRTS TO BUY:\n")
Tax=0.12
Price = 100*Quantity
Total = Price + Tax
The problem is that when you read in the input from the user, it is stored in the Quantity variable as a string. You need to convert the variable Quantity to a float, by using the code below.
quantity=input("PLEASE INSERT NUMBERS OF SHIRTS TO BUY:\n")
tax=0.12
price = 100*float(quantity)
total = price + tax
NOTE: I changed your variable to begin with a lowercase character. This is common coding practice. Classes usually being with a capital character, variables begin with a lowercase character.
As Zeiss Ikon stated below, the tax calculation is incorrect. I kept it as it to clearly solve the original question. This is fixed in the calculation below
total = price * (1.0 + tax)
100 * Quantity does not cause a runtime error, it would make Price equal to 100 repetitions of the the string Quantity
100 * Quantity, what was it?
total = price * (1.0 + tax) or, to round to nearest cent, follow with total = float (int(total * 100 + 0.5))/100
float(Quantity)before using it.Taxis a float so it can't be added to the Price string without converting it first -Total = Price + str(Tax)sayquantity= float(input("PLEASE INSERT NUMBERS OF SHIRTS TO BUY:\n"))
