Question

conversion.An example:
1) bill =float(input("enter number"))
2) donation =0.01*bill
3) print(" donation")
the problem being the output of the code above is cleary wrong. So how do l fix this

Answer 1

bill =float(input("enter number"))
2) donation =0.01*bill
3) print(" donation")

In your above you are converting input value to float exactly right but problem is in your print statement.

You put donation variable in double quotes which becomes a string. Just remove double quotes like

print (donation )

You will get your desired results

Answer 2

Does the float() function do what you need? Say you have an integer x = 1 ... float(x) will result in 1.0
The float function won't actually change the value of x on its own, so you need to reassign x as in:
x = float(x)
