Answer 3

To be honest I really don't see the problem in this code.
It does exactly what it suppose to. I remember this task, it is from the Python Developer course.

Here's the code I use:

price = int(input())
perc = int(input())/100

res = (lambda x,y:x*y)(price, perc)

print(res)

It worked for me.
I'm curious though to know what is the issue with your code.

Answer 4

It shows the difference

price = 80
perc = 7

# Your solution
res_1 = (lambda x,y: (x/100)*y)(price, perc)

# Jacob's solution
res_2 = (lambda x,y: x * y / 100)(price, perc)

print('Your solution:', res_1, '\nJacob's solution:', res_2)

Answer 5

Thank you Jacob, yes it Is the task from Python Developer course. In that case I Have to say: that Is how to NOT calculate percent.

Answer 6

Now I see diference, I was wrong in my previous comment. Wong Hei Ming answer Is right. Thank you all.

Answer 7

Mac Anthony I'm not sure, I focus learning Python, but it look like Java.
If word[i] is what I think it is (a String value), is it fine to use += To concatenate? (Line 9)
