Code Coach 'Super Sale' 👍 SOLVED

Question

Have somebody solved the 'Super Sale' challenge ?

I Don't know what is wrong because all checks are OK except the number 4

Need some help, I can't sleep 😜

Answer 1

I only used casting to int on my final result and it worked.

Edit. I just checked yours with int and it works.

Answer 2

go get some sleep and come back fresh.. .it's not going to run away... 😉

Answer 3

import math

itemsList = [float(s) for s in input().split(",")]

# all except the most expensive item
# get 30% discount
# and the 7% tax as saving
sumForSale = 0.0

DISCOUNT = 0.3
TAX = 1.07

# check if there is more than 1 item to buy
# find and save the most expensive item
# and remove it from the list of items
if(len(itemsList) > 1):
mostExpensiveItem = max(itemsList)
itemsList.remove(mostExpensiveItem)
for item in itemsList:
sumForSale += float(item)

# round to the upper value,
# giving 'decimals' as a tip
print(math.floor(sumForSale * DISCOUNT * TAX))

Answer 4

Post your try here.

Answer 5

There was no casting/rounding error, only sorting problem between array of strings and array of floats.

Answer 6

I had the same problem with case #4, but I converted all the costs to floats instead of integers and it helped.

Answer 7

🌶️alapeño You're welcome.

Answer 8

Thank you Mihai Apostol

Answer 9

Laura Stasiulė Are you having problems in C# for this challenge?

Answer 10

Did you cast your final result to int?

Answer 11

I used Math.Floor(mySum)

Answer 12

Convert.ToInt32

Answer 13

Sorry.
I cannot quite get a hold of it. Post your code here or DM me the code and I will try to help you.
There were a few problems with round/floor/ceil/int... between different languages for the CCC.

Answer 14

Sooner or later,I will find out the solution :))

Answer 15

My solution:

sum = 0

prices = input().split(",")

prices_of_items = []

for price in prices:
prices_of_items.append(float(price))

for price in prices_of_items:
sum += price

taxed_sales = sum * 1.07

discount_sales = (max(prices_of_items) + (sum - max(prices_of_items)) * 0.7) * 1.07

import math
total_saving = math.floor(taxed_sales - discount_sales)

print(total_saving)

Answer 16

Thx

Answer 17

Same for me :/

Answer 18

Yes,with case number 4... tried to code different ways,but still doesn't work

Answer 19

Still doesn't work. I use double,not float,could it be the problem? Tried to check with float,but then there is an error and I gave up :D

Answer 20

I guess it's something different,because I tried +1/-1 to see if case 4 would work
