attachments often get stripped by the mail system as a security risk. Since your code is very short just post it in the mail message as plain text. > The problem with this script is that the "else" statement (which is > equivalent to the 1st script) does not compute gross pay accurately as seen > in the attached screenshot. The screenshot seems to have been stripped so we can't see it. Just tell us what happened and what you expected. Or better still cut 'n paste the output into the message. > I would appreciate a logical explanation for why the "else" statement in > the 2nd script isn't working properly. It almost certainly is working properly, just not as you expected it to :-) When dealing with floating point numbers remember that they will always be approximations to the whole number so calculations will similarly result in approximations. Usually if you round the results the figures will look ok. I can't see anything obviously wrong in your code although it could be simplified. Please post a sample including the inputs and outputs. Tell us what you expect to see as well as showing us what you do see. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
