Question

i have question about the first hw (sorry, new beginner here):
i have these raw_input:
balance = float(raw_input("Enter the outstanding balance on your credit card: "))
annualInterestRate = float(raw_input("Enter the annual credit card interest rate as a decimal: "))
minMonthlyPaymentRate = float(raw_input("Enter the minimum monthly payment rate as a decimal: "))

but when i test it, python only shows the first "Enter the outstanding balance on your credit card:" why python didn't ask me other two???

Answer 1

well did you enter a number and press enter?

Answer 2

yes, but python didn't ask my to keep enter the second and third raw_input

Answer 3

hmm, you might be entering the wrong input. rawinput takes a string and float() converts that to a number. So does the program crash after that first raw input? or does it end successfully? is there an error message?

Answer 4

the program do nothing and stand still after i type in the input. let's say i want put 5000 in first BALANCE, should I type 5000 only, or '5000'?

Answer 5

here is my file. please take a look. After I type in 5000 it didn't move on to ask me the second and third raw_input

Answer 6

are you just pasting that code into the python REPL?

Answer 7

you should save it to a file and execute using:

python creditcard.py

also you need to be careful with the consistency of your names (totalAmtpaid vs totalAmtPaid)

Answer 8

how do i execute it exactly?? through IDLE?

Answer 9

In the python shell. Go File, New window. then copy your code over, save it and then run the module
