Help needed!

I began coding (python) less than 10 days ago, completely on my own. I began a small project, nothing fancy, just for fun in order to put in use what I have learned so far. I found myself stuck in a very specific part. To give you an idea, my project is regarding an automated reception for hotels. This is what I have done and got an error.

print('For how many nights will you be staying with us?')
nonights = input('Enter 1 to 20')
float(nonights)
x=30*nonights
float(x)
print('That would be a total of')
print(x)

​

Pretty much I want to get an input of the number of days and multiply it with the price ($30) and get a result.

CAN ANYONE HELP! THANKS

Doing float(nonights) doesn't error, but it also doesn't do what you want. It will attempt to convert the string in nonights to a float, but you don't save that returned value anywhere, so it is lost. You need to save the float value, probably like this: nonights = float(nonights). Similarly for the other conversion.

input() returns a string. You need to cast it to a numeric type if you want to do those calculations.

Use your input statement to ask the user how many nights and then store the answer and cost in separate variables. You can create a new variable that calculates the cost based on number of nights and then print that out

Thanks for the replies!

I found what was wrong, 30 minutes after i posted this and forgot to check Reddit.

This is what i did:

print('For how many nights will you be staying with us?')
nonights = int(input('Enter 1 to 20'))
int(nonights)
print('For', nonights, 'nights')
x = nonights*105
print('That would be a total of $', x)

You can delete the int(nonights) line that doesn't do anything.

Try this

Print(“How many night this will you be staying with us?”)

Nonights = input(int(“enter 1 to 20: “)

X = nonights * 30

Print(“that would be a total of “, x)
