Question

I'm working on a little test code but keep getting operator errors due to my if statement conditions. what's the error I'm making here?

total = input("What is your shopping total?")

if (total > 1000):
discount = total * 0.1

truetotal = total - discount

print (truetotal)

else:

print (total)

Answer 1

input in Python is automatically string format, so you first need to convert it to a real number with int(total) or float(total).

Answer 2

thanks so much Shifu
