Ok, here is my problem. If a person has two different people to order books for, then when using the loop option, How do you add the two seperate choices together for a final total of books cost?another='y' while another=='y' or another=='Y': choice() another=input('Do you have another book to order for this student? '+\ 'Enter y for yes: ') def choice(): book=int(input('Enter the book chioce you want: ' +\ 'For Hardback Enter the number 1: ' +\ 'Paperback Enter the number 2: ' +\ 'Electronic Enter the number 3: ')) num=int(input('Enter how many you need: ')) cost=0 if book==1: cost=79 elif book==2: cost=49 elif book==3: cost=19 b_total=float(cost*num) print('Your book cost is $ ',format(b_total,'.2f')) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Create an empty list at the top of your loop. Store your b_total in the list inside the loop with the append method. When the loop finishes use the built-in sum function to get the final total.
