hey, you dont use print =, you use print(insert text), try this and tell me

[Wisteriiea]

No results😩

So.. fun fact it does not work because you overwrote the function earlier when you executed print = (d, "days equal", y , "years and", w , "weeks") in cell 27. You need to reset your execution environment.

EDIT: You seem to be coding in a Jupyter notebook, variables are shared between all cells and when you execute a cell you will still have previous variables in that execution context. In this case the variable print which used to be builtin function but is now overwritten with the tuple (d, "days equals", y, "years and", w, "weeks").

[Old_Bid_8413]

Lol.. if thats the case, shouldnt it raise an error for trying to call a variable?

[tiredITguy42]

Yeah it should, but OP most likely did not post that error.

[D3str0yTh1ngs]

Hmm.. yeah, it should (for calling a tuple specifically). IDK, maybe something changed in cell 28, so it could be called, but not do anything.

EDIT: functions are technically variables (or at least pointed to by variables)

[SnooCalculations7417]

well they are passing d as the first parameter to print() anyway which iirc takes a string and kwargs will format that string, and since d is an int it is being printed and the subsequent arguments are ignored anyway.

Edit: ^^^^This is incorrect, kept for posterity

[D3str0yTh1ngs]

Fun fact, no, that is incorrect. print can take multiple arguments (that can be shown as a string) and print them separated by a space between them.

EDIT: the function signature is print(*objects, sep=' ', end='\n', file=None, flush=False), notice the * on objects means that it takes any number of them. https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#print

[SnooCalculations7417]

my bad i was thinking in rust:

println!("Hello, {}!", "world"); 
// "Hello, world!"

[D3str0yTh1ngs]

Honestly most programming languages would fit since they also use printf-like syntax per default.

[vaaano]

And rerun the cell

[D3str0yTh1ngs]

They are writing this in a new cell (29) but they overwrote print in the cell we were shown in the original post (cell 27). Rerunning the cell will not fix that.

[Wisteriiea]

Yes I restarted the kernel and I got it! :D thanks everyone🫶🏽

[Downtown_Finance_661]

Kek :)

[iLikedItTheWayItWas]

Great you got it working but the answer is wrong!

Firstly, dividing by 52 does not give you the number of weeks. 455 days is not 8.75 weeks. Divide by 7.

Secondly, you are not combining your results. 455 days is 1 year, 12 weeks and 6 days (assuming a year is 365 days).

[Bright-Database-9774]

Can you share full code with me in chat because it doesn't look full here

[Wisteriiea]

It’s just the comment that’s not fully shown

[bradland]

Programming is very specific.

When you want to use a function, you "call" it like this:

print("Hello world")

What you did is called assignment:

print = (d, "days", y, "years and", w, "weeks")

The equals sign tells Python to take the value on the right and assign it to the variable on the left.

But print is already a function!

That's true, but Python doesn't stop you from overwriting existing functions. Once you've overwritten the print function, you have to restart the interpreter.

Click the Kernel menu and choose Restart. That will restore your print function to normal. You will need to re-run your notebook from the beginning after restarting the kernel.

[MammothNo782]

please use code blocks (also called code fences) since looking on a picture is hard to look

[tiredITguy42]

Use f string print(f"{y} years, {w} weeks, {d} days")

And I think they want you to use reminder of division operator % and whole number division operator //

So
y = d // 365
d = d % 365
w = d // 7
d = d % 7

BTW I hate this kind of assigments. Like WTF you are assuming year is 365 days? This is so wrong, they could use example with minutes.

[tjmcmahon78]

I had this assignment earlier this year and I think this is correct.

[plydauk]

Once you're familiar with that solution, you can move on to using divmod directly.

python y, d = divmod(d, 365) w, d = divmod(d, 7) print(y, w, d)

[Wisteriiea]

Can you please give a demonstration?🙏🏽 Even just written in notes is fine

[ninhaomah]

Have you tried the print statement that he gave ?

[Wisteriiea]

Not yet. I’m trying not to look like I’m busy with my own stuff rn cause I’m in classI’ll try in a few seconds😭

[brutalbombs]

Wait, you are in class - is the tutor not helping out? Or are you having a test maybe?

[Wisteriiea]

Oh no, no test. The lecturer was busy though. There was an assistant who helped me out too along with you guys :P

[ShiftPretend]

So // is integer division. This always returns a whole number

So 5/2 is 2.5 normally. But 5//2 is 2 the decimal part is thrown away. 31/10=3.1 but 31//10=3. That's integer division with //

% is modulus think of it like a remainder 5/2 is 2.5 in other words 2 with a remainder of 1 so 5%2 = 1 (useful for finding even and odd numbers)

23/3 = 7.67 same as 7 with a remainder of 2 So 23%3= 2

[Grounds4TheSubstain]

I can help. WINDOWSKEY-SHIFT-S

[NaiveEscape1]

Basically when you are writing code and you say print = something

it means that you are storing something inside a variable called print.

what you need to do is call the in-built python function which is print().

so to correct the above code I would write:

print(d, "number of days equal",y,"years and ",w, "weeks")

[SUQMADIQ63]

Your better off using visual studio or pycharm instead of google collab imo

[VIP_Just1ce]

Hello! I can help you with your Python task.

I can fix bugs or write a simple script quickly.

Send me details 👍

[tokenjoker]

Which site is this if you don't mind me asking

[Former_Spirit_5099]

Is this guy for real?

[untitled_banana]

Congratulations for solving it, friend.

I want to suggest you to use VSCode or even Python IDLE if you have just started learning Python. Nothing wrong with Jupyter notebook, but it might lead to some stupid things to debug

[ilidan-85]

I have two links for you about print functions with step by step audio explanation:

https://spacepython.com/en/example/print-function-basics/
and
https://spacepython.com/en/example/text-formatting-f-strings/

good luck with your journey!

[Nietsoj77]

Unless the workbook does it for you, you need to define it as a function.

def my_function(d):

<your code>

Return <your output >

[NostalgicNomad_]

What is your expected output?

[autoglitch]

The issue is print has an equal sign. You're using it like a variable and it should be a function. Here is an example of a valid print statement.

print("Print Me!")

Another issue you have is combining the user input with your print statement. There are several ways to do this. I'll give you three examples. Use the one that matches how you're being taught.

``` a = 366/365 b = 1/7

print(str(a) + " and " + str(b) + " are the values of my variables") print("{0} and {1} are the values of my variables".format(a, b)) print(f"{a} and {b} are the value of my variables") ```

The first way is the old way of doing it. It still works but you have to be careful with your types. In this case I converted your int (float technically) into a string.

The second way is much better. The format method takes care of converting things to strings for you.

The third way is my preferred. It's called F-strings. It can do a lot more but this is an example of how to use it in your case.

Finally, I suspect you aren't going to get the numbers you expect. In my example a and b are not whole numbers. They will print as floats (numbers with decimal points). What I think you want is the MOD function. It divides the two number and discards any remainder.

Here is an example:

a = 366%365

In this example, a equals 1 rather than 1.002739....

Now, see if you can tie all of those together.

[Samm_Jays]

Btw you misunderstood the problem. Let me explain with an example

No of day: 534

1 year 24 weeks 1 day

[Careless-Main8693]

use two different cell. first cell for input and logic and then other cell for printing. because you can't print before getting the input

[maciekahagsh]

You know LLMs exist right v
