What happens with this code?

Question

Output is some unintelligible string of numbers and letters, for example "<function total at 0x71a634dd30d0>" with input of 24 used for simple multiplication. It doesn't get any better with any other input.

Answer 1

You have a mistake in your code. You're printing the function object and displaying its address in memory. To correct the mistake you have to include the arguments in your code.

bill = total(price, count)
print(bill)

Answer 2

Let me add a little background to Chris Coder's answer.
What your code "bill = total" doing is assigning a function to a variable.
That is creating an alias of the total() function.

If keeping your code unchanged, below lines produce the same result.
print(total(price = 10.35, count = 10)) # 103.5
print(bill(price = 10.35, count = 10)) # 103.5

Answer 3

Try it with this line:
bill = total(price, count)
