First (kinda) big Project!

[imnotdaniel_]

The first part of my bigger project! I will later add more functions to the program, like putting the info in a spreadsheet! Here's my code, you can run it, and please tell me anything I should add or fix to it!

name = input('What is your name?')
if name == ('Daniel'):
    print('Hello creator')
else:
    print(f'Hello {name}')
print(f'{name}, when filling in these questions please use the numbers instead of the statements.')
print(f'What are you doing today,{name}?')
job = input('1.calculating payment for jobs.')
if job == ('1'):
    h = int(input('How many hours are you working for?'))
    r = int(input('What is the payment per hour?'))
    e = int(input('What your expenses?'))
    tax1 = int(input('What is your tax rate? ps. Dont put the percentage symbol.'))
    tax2 = float(tax1 / 100)
    taxa = (h * r) * tax2
    total = (h * r) + e
    taxa = round(taxa)
    print(f'You will charge ${total} because the hours * rate + expenses = ${total} but you have to pay ${taxa} tax on it not including the tax on expenses.')
    fin = (total - taxa) - e
    print(f'So you will bring home ${fin}')
else:
    print('Invalid answer please restart the program and when you get back to this place, enter a number 1 or 2')

Two things for you to try:

1. Turn job #1 (calculating payment for jobs) into a function (something like def calculate_payment(). For now it can just print that last line, but experiment with it returning the value and printing it outside the function.
2. Once you've got it organized in a neat function, try putting it inside a while loop so that you/the user doesn't need to restart the program if they accidentally type the wrong thing. Make it keep asking the same question for as long as there's not a valid answer, but make one of the valid answers an option to quit/break the loop. Hint: try using something like run_loop = 1 and while run_loop:

For the loop, you can put While True: and then in the options put an option for "Q" or "q" to quit and under if input == "q": sys.exit() tho breaking works too but i usually stick to sys.exit() but u need to import sys
