Hello. I hope everyone is having a good day. I am working on an assignment
that is supposed to output floats. I'm using floats in the computations and
according to Python's rules the output should be floats, but it's not. When I
test in Python shell the calculations display correctly, as floats.
I'm using Python 2.7 for this assignment.
input is as follows (not in code order):
balance = 4213
annualInterestRate = 0.2
monthlyPaymentRate = 0.04
payment = monthlyPaymentRate * balance
balance = balance - payment
total_paid = payment
output looks like this:
Month: 1
Minimum monthly payment: 168
Remaining balance: 4111
Month: 2
Minimum monthly payment: 164
Remaining balance: 4013
Month: 3
Minimum monthly payment: 160
Remaining balance: 3916
...etc...
Would any of you have a clue what could be wrong?

Deb,
Can you show us your full code listing or if it is lengthy the relevant
section showing the print statement. My guess is your print formating is
not specified correctly and it is rounding to the nearest whole number.
