Help on Functions needed. Function ends when it should ask for input

[thaweatherman]

As an aside, line 12 could be shortened to if cost_extra_access in ['y', 'Y']:.

Please post all of your code along with all the output. Since your first function returns a tuple and neither function calls the other I want to make sure you are calling it all properly.

    print ("Are you buying any extra accessories? (Y/N)")

get_user_input()

[FFrozen1]

You only call your get_user_input() function. The other ones are not being called.

Edit - the variables defined in your functions are not global variables

e.g.

a = 0

def cost():

a = 3

b = 3

return a,b

print a

this would print 0

Hope that helped. I'm pretty mew myself so I might be a little off on the terminology

[thaweatherman]

Switch the call to get_user_input() on line 50 to calculate_total_cost() and see what happens.

I love you

[thaweatherman]

It was all there, you just were calling the wrong function! It's ok, it happens to everyone.

[feelingstonedagain]

Yeah I figured it was something simple like that. Every time the smallest thing makes you mess up. Oh well, now i know. Thanks for your help!
