Decimal places

Question

How do I get my code to drop everything except for the first two decimal places on a calculation?

Code below:

#SHORT TERM CALCULATOR

rate_of_pay = (input("what is the partners rate of pay?

Answer 1

Carlee, i checked the code on pc and SoloLearn and it runs without creating an error. You can check your latest version here:
https://code.sololearn.com/cRFDUYzhTAGi/?ref=app Make sure you input 2 lines of data when you are prompted to do so. First line is a value and second line is Y or N.

But i found an other issue that matters. If you input in second line Y (upper) it will return a different result as if you input y (lower).
this is the code that evaluates the input:
if partnershare_factor == 'Y':
print("\n")
print(f'Weekly = $ {salary_weekly:>7.2f}')
print(f'Daily = $ {salary_daily:>7.2f}')
else:
print("\n")
print(f'Weekly = $ {hourly_weekly:>7.2f}')
print(f'Daily = ${hourly_daily:>7.2f}')

It checks for an upper Y. If you input a lower y the else part of the statement will be executed and gives a different result as expected. You can fix this if you make a small amendment:
Instead of: if partnershare_factor == 'Y': use if partnershare_factor.upper() == 'Y':
In this case the input will by converted to uppercase and compared with the uppercase Y.

Answer 2

you can use this instead of your current print statements

print(f'Hourly WEEKLY = $ {hourly_weekly:.2f}')
print(f'Hourly WEEKLY = $ {hourly_daily:.2f}')

result is:

Hourly WEEKLY = $ 293.35
Hourly WEEKLY = $ 41.91

print(f'Hourly WEEKLY = $ {hourly_weekly:>7.2f}')
print(f'Hourly WEEKLY = $ {hourly_daily:>7.2f}')
# this does adjust your numbers to the right:
Hourly WEEKLY = $ 293.35
Hourly WEEKLY = $ 41.91

#SHORT TERM CALCULATOR

rate_of_pay = (input("What is the partners rate of pay? quot;))
partnershare_factor = input("Is Partner eligible for PartnerShare? Y/N")

#SALARY CALCULATIONS 100% 5 DAY WORK WEEK
salary_weekly = float(rate_of_pay)*40
salary_daily = salary_weekly/5

#HOURLY CALCULATION 66.67% 7 DAY WORK WEEK
hourly_cal = float(rate_of_pay)*40
hourly_weekly = hourly_cal*.6667
hourly_daily = hourly_weekly/7

if partnershare_factor == 'Y':
print("\n")
print(f'Weekly = $ {salary_weekly:>7.2f}')
print(f'Daily = $ {salary_daily:>7.2f}')
else:
print("\n")
print(f'Weekly = $ {hourly_weekly:>7.2f}')
print(f'Daily = ${hourly_daily:>7.2f}')
