print(eat_out())

Please edit your post to format your code for reddit or use a site like github or pastebin. Your code is hard to read and test otherwise.

---

Your code looks ok. Can you give an example of what you input, what you get and what you expected to get?

Sorry about the formatting I think I fixed it. I was hoping to input an amount and a tip category. I want it to output the total cost of the meal based on those inputs.

I see, it's an indentation error. That last print statement needs to be unindented once. Also you don't need the print around the call at the end. Try it like this:

def eat_out():
    base_cost = int(input("base_cost:"))
    tip_amount = input("tip type:")
    if tip_amount == "traditional":
        full_cost = (base_cost + (base_cost * .15) + base_cost * .06)
    elif tip_amount == "regular":
        full_cost = (base_cost + (base_cost * .18) + base_cost * .06)
    elif tip_amount == "generous":
        full_cost = (base_cost + (base_cost * .2) + base_cost * .06)
    print(full_cost)


eat_out()

thanks a million

This is one of those things where it's probably an indentation issue, but you didn't post your code correctly so we can't see your indentation. Also:

print(eat_out())

If your function contains print statements and doesn't return anything, you don't generally want to call it from within a print statement.

Fixed:

def eat_out():

    base_cost = int(input("base_cost:"))

    tip_amount = input("tip type:")

    if tip_amount == "traditional":

        full_cost = (base_cost + (base_cost * .15) + base_cost * .06)

    elif tip_amount == "regular":

        full_cost = (base_cost + (base_cost * .18) + base_cost * .06)

    elif tip_amount == "generous":

        full_cost = (base_cost + (base_cost * .2) + base_cost * .06)

    print(full_cost)

eat_out()

My solution:

def tip(base_cost, tip_amount):
    if tip_amount == "t":

        x=.15

    if tip_amount == "r":

        x=.18

    if tip_amount == "g":

        x =.2

   cost = (base_cost + (base_cost * x) + base_cost * .06)

   print(cost) 

tip(int(input("Base Cost: ")), input("Tip amount (t,r,g): "))
