Tell us what’s happening:

Hello, I can’t figure out why I can’t pass the step 4, can someone guide me?

Your code so far

def apply_discount(price , discount):
    
    if price != int or float:
        return('The price should be a number')
    elif discount != int or float:
        return('The discount should be a number')
    elif price <=0:
        return('The price should be greater than 0')
    elif discount <0 or discount >100:
        return('The discount should be between 0 and 100')
    discount = (price*(discount/100))

apply_discount(100,20)
apply_discount(200,50)
apply_discount(50,0)
apply_discount(50,100)
apply_discount(74.5,20.0)

Welcome to the forum @Sintorias!

This is not the correct way to check if price (or discount) is type int or type float. Consider using isinstance().

This will always return true and will be evaluated like this because conditions are checked on each side of the or operator:

print(price != int)
print(float)

Happy coding!
