[Tutor] Calaculating a monthly total of earning

2011-01-16 Thread walter weston

Heres my code:

def income_report(yearly_income,hourly_income):
""" this will count the average of your total monthly income"""
sum_of_monthly=int(yearly_income/12)# his yearly income dividing by 12.
minus_weekends=hourly_income*64 #the 64 is the two days off for the 
weekend(assuming working an 8 hour shift)
  #and there are 4 
weekends in a month so 1 weekend=16 hours so 4 weekends would be 64 hours now 
working
  #now I must subtract 
that from the monthly income(sum_of_monthly)
total_income=int(minus_weekends-sum_of_monthly) #this is the money thats 
subtracted to the monthly total not working from the weekends
return sum_of_monthly,total_income

I call income_report with some like income_report(20,12) and I get numbers 
printed like (1, -15898) the second argument is to much and its negative 
and when I multiply 1 by 12 to see if sum_of_monthly did its job correctly 
I get a number thats off , I got 12 not 20.Python is so tempormential 
what is wrong with my code?

exponential! I think they should make a help hotline for every 
programming language. and since I havent discovered something similar It
 would probably be lucretive! ___

[Tutor] how come this doesnt work

2011-01-14 Thread walter weston

I generate a random number(supposedly a password, in my case its just a long 
floating point lol),I want the user to reinput that number and I want to print 
a string if the number entered is correct. so if m==num(num is the number 
generated and m is the variable which stores the input ) then I want to print 
'you entered correctly, proceed'.

here is my code..

import random
for x in range(0,1):
num = random.random()
print (num)
m=input('input pass:')
if m==num:
print('you entered correctly, proceed')

It's very noobish dont give me complex replys, and dont be to rude or laugh at 
me, as I am a beginner In the programming domain.

[Tutor] how to print random number multiply

I have mostly studied python and now I'm ready to start writing code. I want to 
print random numbers a certain ammount of times I am using the code   

 import random
print (random.random())

I tried bind the print statement to a variable and when I call x for example I 
want it to print new numbers when I store the print statement in a variable x 
everytime I call x it's the same number and does change I wanted it to change 
when I call it could someone show me the code to do that thanks!
