Build a Bill Splitter - Step 4

Python
1

Tell us what’s happening:

I believe I have done what is needed to pass this challenge but I am still being given a reply that “You should print the string, Total bill so far: followed by a space and the value of running_total”. I don’t get what I am doing wrong.

Your code so far

running_total = 0

num_of_friends = 4

appetizers = 37.89
main_courses = 57.34
desserts = 39.39
drinks = 64.21


# User Editable Region

running_total+=appetizers+main_courses+ desserts+drinks
print('Total bill so far: '+str(running_total))

Welcome to the forum @olufemidavido500 ,

Try putting your print all on one line by passing in two arguments.

Happy coding!

Thanks for that, but I have actually already done it but got the same result.

Please post your update.

I have edited the former

Okay. I see the problem, but in the future please don’t go back and edit your original post unless asked. It’s confusing for anyone who may read this thread later.

The syntax the tests are looking for is: print('your string', variable)

There is no need to apply the str() method to running_total. You would only need to do that if you were concatenating the text string and your variable. But, in this case, you are passing two arguments to print().

Wow! Can’t believe that was the problem. It works just fine now. Thanks.
