Ballpark Order Question

Question

Hey folks,
I am having trouble figuring out why my code passes the visible tests but not the hidden ones. I tried manual test strings and they appeared to process correctly. I attempted a strip command to remove any potential whitespace or new lines however this did not seem to have an effect. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious and would really appreciate any help.

Sidebar - I know it can be solved by using the split method and iterating over the list created from the string, but I wanted to try this manner of resolving the problem if possible.

Answer 1

Michael Lawton I tested it with the output in currency format and it passed all tests, i then tested it without the currency format and it only passed the first two. The reason why I think that is the issue is if you print a "Coke" you get a long float, which is what I think is failing the other tests. Also the below should work too...
print(round(total*1.07,2))

Answer 2

Try formatting your output for currency?

print(f'{total*1.07:,.2f}')

Answer 3

Steven M formatting didn't seem to resolve the issue unfortunately. I appreciate the suggestion though!

The coke option is the default if an input does not match any of the criteria, so I included that in the final else. I should have placed that in a comment. My bad!

Answer 4

Steven M you're 100% right and my apologies! I looked back at the edited code and I had formatted improperly when I went to double check your suggestion. Thank you!

Answer 5

Michael Lawton no worries man, its good code 👍
