Answer 1

Nicot

# Convert the user input into a float value and update the variable

* you forgot to put savings inside the parentheses

f_savings = float(savings)

# Convert the balance into a string and update the variable

* you hard-coded the 157.50 as the balance verses letting the code pass the variable balance value

s_balance = str(balance)

Answer 2

Awesome, it worked. Thank you!

Answer 3

You're welcome Nicot

Answer 4

you're getting a syntax error... check over your code for anything missing...

and are you wanting input twice?

Answer 5

def main():
compounder()

def compounder():
new = '\n'
p = float(input()) # principal, initial balance
r = float(input()) # percent form, e.g. input for 2.5%: 2.5
y = float(input()) # years

a = p * (1 + r / 100)**y # amount = principle(1 + rate/100)^years
g = a - p # net gain

if y <= 1:
print(f'Initial Balance: ${p:,.2F}{new}Rate: {r:,.2F}%{new}Balance at {y:,.2F} Year: ${a:,.2F}{new}Gain: ${g:,.2f}')

elif y > 1:
print(f'Initial Balance: ${p:,.2F}{new}Rate: {r:,.2F}%{new}Balance at {y:,.2F} Years: ${a:,.2F}{new}Gain: ${g:,.2f}')

else:
print('There must be a strategic error on your end!')

if __name__=='__main__':
main()
