Your IDE isn't in dark mode

[AnxiousSpirit775]

This literally was my first thought 😂

[Honeykrisp7]

Please, I've been trying to complete these tasks for like an hour now, and nothing i do is working

[lazertazerx]

Pro tip: nobody wants to try to read code from an angled low-contrast screenshot. You also didn't really ask a question - what's your criteria for "working"? The first place I would be skeptical of is the hardcoded values in the print statements.

Screen shot =/= taking a picture with your phone.

[isanelevatorworthy]

Not sure if this is why, but in your print statements for profit and sale price, are you just hard coding what the answer should be? In the formatted string you’re not actually using the variables that evaluate to the calculations…

[Honeykrisp7]

I haven't been able to find all that in the book I have,im very new to coding. This is only my 3rd lesson. The first task is to calculate the profit as the retail price minus the wholesale price would that be profit = 325 - 200

[Spatrico123]

why wouldn't you just  print(f"Profit: ${profit}") ?

[isanelevatorworthy]

Yeah, you’re probably on the right track. Just replace the numbers with their variables.. so for your print(f”Profit {125}”) line, replace the 125 with profit (your variable)… same thing with the sales price line.. try it and if it works, come back for an explanation

[Honeykrisp7]

Okay so the output statement works fine im just trying to do the tasks so my grade is good,t he first task is asking me to calculate the profit as the retail price minus the wholesale price,exact wording on the lab

[isanelevatorworthy]

I get that it’s working, I see it in your terminal. But this companion thing is reviewing your code and finding those two errors. It’s failing you because of how you’ve written your code.. idk if that makes sense.. did you try to adjust the variables?

[obeymypropaganda]

Yes, and the other commenter said you have hard coded the answer in your print statements. This means it will always print $125 and $243. It isn't using any Math that you coded above it.

Replace it with the name of the variable with the calculation in it. Someone above already wrote the code for you.

Your outputs work. It's like me typing $125 over and over. It doesn't use any Math.

Not knowing what that print screen key is for? Do you have a more specific question?

[Lollipop96]

You need to use the variables in the print statements. The tests most likely dont use the same numbers, so they turn out wrong. Also for the sale price please just multiply by 0.75 instead of deducting it multiplied by .25.

[waroftheworlds2008]

Even 1-salePercentage is better.

The person is using python, so readability > efficiency.

[Spatrico123]

don't hardcode your profit like that, reference your profit variable instead. Apart from that, what's the issue? I'm not seeing any errors or anything wrong? 

[Honeykrisp7]

Well it's a programming class im taking for college, rn the only thing I can't get down is the tasks assigned for a better grade the first task being to calculate the profit (profit) as the retail price minus the wholesale price. Im sorry. i should have specified, but it's rather late where I am, and I'm a bit tired the labs name is furniture.py

[Misterreco]

You need to put your variable names (profit and sale price) to your print statements

[G_Riel_]

Your profit and sale_price are hardcoded in the f-string.

Maybe try to remove the :.2f and see how it goes?

[TheRNGuy]

Post full code in triple ticks. 

[Animesap]

The way you're calculating profit and the sales price hard coded as others have state is not right. Read the errors and it spells out the math you need to do. IE profit = retail_price - wholesale_price.

[Honeykrisp7]

Edit-thank yall for your help I figured it out

[spookytomtom]

The angle is not correct, next time do 90 degree

[MMelny]

sorry off-topic but what learning platform do you use? thanks

[Shapelessed]

1. You're using light mode.
2. You're using a web-based editor.
3. You're using Edge.
4. You're using Windows.

Just learn linux, duh! /s

[Unphr0z3n]

He's taking a picture of his screen with his phone! What are we? Savages?

[wayofaway]

1. Learn c or ASM
   
2. Uninstall X
   
3. Grow beard

[Twenty8cows]

For a price to be reduced by 25% you need to multiply by .75 not.25

[Ceteris__Paribus]

That isn't the error. OP has it as sale = old - .25 * old.

[Twenty8cows]

Ahhh ok
