Please help, I left a space between the string and the running_total value but it gave me an error. With the comma there was no error but it tells me that I should print the string Total bill so far: followed by a space and the value of running_total.
running_total = 0
num_of_friends = 4
appetizers = 37.89
main_courses = 57.34
desserts = 39.39
drinks = 64.21
running_total += appetizers + main_courses + desserts + drinks
print(" Total bill so far: ", str(running_total))
Welcome back, @lissasiz006!
It is only necessary to apply the str() method when you concatenate a variable and a string, not when you print and pass the variable as a second argument.
